Artists
Angus rediscovered the joys of painting on retrial as a senior partner a major Scottish architectural practice.
What started as a hobby has now developed into a full time occupation as an artist in painting in watercolour, acrylics and mixed media. Subject matter is wide ranging, with special inspiration coming from the Scottish landscape and townscape. Coupled with studying play of light as the weather affects the scene before me, the sun, the shadows the mood. As a native of Skye he particularly enjoys the highland scene, especially Assynt where he his wife have a home.
Regular forays to the continent result in plein air interpretations of the cities of mainly France, Spain and Italy including the painters jewel in the crown, Venice.
