Winter Walk, Water of Leith, 2021

‘I have lived and worked as an artist in Scotland for almost 40 years. Although I work in several media my favorite is the artist print medium of etching. I like the mood and texture which I can get with the process: this is in landscapes or cityscapes. I am currently interested in etchings where I can explore how the medium can show light and mood. This may be the time of day or a season. I particularly like scenes which can be fully expressed in monotone. Winter scenes especially lend themselves to this where colour is often lost in the brightness of snow against the trees.
