Fishing boats, Southend Pier, Gigha.
Watercolour/ink on a watercolour Moleskine.
Gigha (pronounced “Gee-ah”) is sometimes known as “God’s Island. It lies off the west coast of Scotland’s Kintyre peninsula and is only about 4 miles long. This drawing is from a photograph I took when staying on the island in 2003, a year after the local community managed to buy the island to safeguard its future. I remember the visit coincided with incredibly hot, record breaking temperatures and I spent three days, painting next to a small beach with a wet towel around my neck. Happy days!

Thanks folks. I wish it was as warm here, in Edinburgh, at the moment as it was then.

Robert, remember there will be winners and losers in the global warming game. Do you need some advice on cooking seal? Like the picture by the way.

Glad you liked the picture. Thanks for the culinary offer but I think I’ll give it a miss, however, if you are in need of some seal food
