My drawing of the battle of Pinkie 1547, Musselburgh (Scotland) from 1983 before I understood arms and armour. Scots were not hairy Highlanders! First battle in history where an army was defeated by a land and ship based bombardment.

"Resting Redshanks, East Lothian", 10 x 8", acrylic painting. Original sold but giclee fine art prints now available in my Etsy shop!. Saw these birds at Musselburgh lagoons last year. One day I hope to be allowed to go back there (from Edinburgh!)

"Lapwing", acrylic on paper. Another recent bird painting, based on birdwatching sessions at Musselburgh lagoons before lockdown prevented me going there again 😥. Now I can only paint them!
