A busy August with hols hot weather and things to do kept me away from any painting...

Life always get in the way at some point when trying to create...

Here's a couple of monochrome images of lighthouses around my south west Scotland vicinity...

Black And White Photography Thursday

Black and white thursdays image above was taken from Millport beach looking across to Goatfell in the distance on the Isle Of Arran ...

It was taken during my bike riding trip from Largs during July this year.

The island on the far left is Little Cumbrae and the two small island where the yachts are moored are called Eileans which is scottish gaelic meaning islands.

Black And White Photography Monday

Today I'm trying to get a small portfolio of my abstract paintings ready for a possible group exhibition but I keep getting distracted doing other things...This is an image taken from the mainland above Largs in Ayrshire looking across the Firth of Clyde towards the island Greater Cumbrae...

Black And White Photography Again

I must admit I had lost interest in my old passion of creating monochrome prints after digital photography came along and was against change even though I had a few images published in various digital photo mags in the 90's...

Recently having purchased some digital camera equipment for reproducing my paintings in print form its seems to have re-ignited my interest...

Although I still miss dipping me fingers in the those chemicals and watching the image appear in the dark I'm sure its alot healthier this so called modern digital way...and of course the convenience...

But for me there's still something special about a traditionally produced silver halide print on fibre based paper...

Anyway here's an image digitally produced entitled " Home By The Sea "
