This year the Tolquhon Gallery invited me to submit a couple of paintings for their Summer Exhibition – a colourful mix of painting, printmaking, sculpture and studio crafts. Tolquhon is located about 20 miles northwest of Aberdeen, where artist Danny Ross and his wife Joan have established a contemporary gallery in a Victorian farmhouse. The garden (which also forms part of the gallery) is used to display outdoor sculpture and ceramics in the summer months.

The exhibition at the Tolquhon Gallery is open from Sun 24 July – Tues 30 August (Mon, Tues, Fri & Sat 11am-5pm; Sun 2-5pm).
