Some Recent Sketches

The cold and wet spring continues. There is now a lot more snow on the Ben than when I painted the above picture three days ago.The middle sketch of the view across Loch Linnhe was painted during a brief interlude in the rain , as was the top sketch  of the view from the Lidl supermarket in Fort William.
I was very sad to hear of the death today of Charles Kennedy, former leader of the Liberal Democrat Party and M.P. for this area for 32 years until he lost his seat on the 7th May. He won my admiration ( and my vote) for his opposition to the Iraq War.
