Friday night sketch thing: it’s me, driving over the Bealach na Bà, trying not to fall off

Loch Ness - a (horrible) story in two panels. Not sure about this really but I could twiddle on with it forever.

Over on Instagram I have just embarked upon this year’s #100daysprojectscotland, my idea being to make a tiny painting every day. I’ll probably post them here too but it’s quite good fun watching everyone else’s progress too… or join in!! 100daysscotland.co.uk

Day 2: A tiny painting of the Glengorm standing stones on Mull #100daysprojectscotland

Day 3: Lemon. I hate this. But I’m posting it anyway. #100daysprojectscotland

Day 4: Terrifying / spectacular lamp seen at a bar in Reykjavik a few years ago. Took about 2 hours and I’m quite pleased with how it turned out. I’m obviously much more suited to painting traumatising knick knacks than fruit. #100daysprojectscotland

I'm delighted to reveal the cover of my new book, Upon A White Horse: Journeys in Ancient Britain and Ireland. It will be published by Headline Books on 11 September. Available to pre-order here: linktr.ee/UponAWhiteHorse If you are happy to share this post, please, I'd be grateful.

Day 5: (belated) Blofeld. Amazing cat of my brother and SiL #100daysprojectscotland

Day 7: the sea, quite near Ardrossan. I think I’ll just paint sea and skyscapes from now on. This was so enjoyable. Too enjoyable really. No pain no gain etc. #100daysprojectscotland

Day 8: Skull on a headstone, St Cuthbert’s Kirkyard. I quite like this one but the paint’s still not thick enough. Avoiding detail is definitely the way to go. #100daysprojectscotland

Day 9: Baubles #100daysprojectscotland

Day 10: winter tree in Inch Park #100daysprojectscotland

Day 11 (give or take): a window, Mary King’s Close #100daysprojectscotland

Day 12: Road Closed #100daysprojectscotland

Day 13: Edith #100daysprojectscotland
