Kittock’s View, St Andrews

Kittock’s View inspired by many memorable family holidays in St Andrews Bay. The coastal landscape with the wind-swept blustery Scottish sky, the jagged coastline, and the distant silhouette of St Andrews itself, is a perfect location and combination for a painting . The perfect setting, blending the beauty of nature with the historic backdrop.

The large, blustery Scottish skies you mention are such a distinctive feature of your work. The skies here really do seem to have a character all their own — always changing, full of drama, and ever-present. When combined with landmarks like St Andrews or other iconic elements, the contrast between the serene landscape and the dynamic skies creates a striking atmosphere in your pieces. I imagine that sense of movement, of nature constantly in flux, is something you capture so well.

The way you weave personal memories into your art, and blend them with the timeless feel
