Welcome to my website.
I am an artist living in Cromarty on the Black Isle.
I am self taught and for years I created my art under the pseudonym of Seoras Albannach (Scottish George). I have now decided to revert to drawing and painting under my own name.
As a youngster in Edinburgh, my art teacher encouraged me to go on to art college, however I was more interested in joining the Royal Navy as an engineer, which I did at 17 years old. When I left the RN I did a fair amount of painting and drawing, with the occasional commision for portraits and pet portraits. I did not try to pursue it much further as I had other interests and my love of sailing to keep me busy.
Now in my twilight years I spend the summer months sailing and the winter months creatively enjoying my art.
I paint a variety of subjects in different sizes and especially like the rich Scottish landscapes and scenes of Cromarty. I still get several commissions including portraits of pets, family members and favourite boats.
Enquiries for existing works or commissions can be sent directly to my email, which can be found on the contacts page. All feedback is encouraged and appreciated.
Thank you
