Cyanotyope and acrylic on stretched canvas, 31cm x 41cm

Private Collection

Sparrows sing on the wild roses while the seagulls soar overhead.

This painting was on display in Edinburgh Printmakers as part of Hope/Dòchas: Castle Mills Members Show 4.

Cyanotype and acrylic on linen, 31cm x 41cm

I sat for ages to get a photo of the sparrows perched on the wild rose. The seagulls soared overhead, in their own world.

The wild rose grows over from my neighbour’s garden. He used to think he had to cut it back for us, but I asked him not to. I love the way it grows wildly, and the sparrows love it too.

The cyanotype was exposed in sunlight in the garden. I sat beside it with my cat on her lead, soaking up the Scottish sun.
