Unfinished Caithness croft by the sea

There is still dispute over the location of this house as I have used a photo on this occasion to draw the picture of the house and the owner insists it's on the Causewaymire, u am still to find said house!! I combined an outdoor sketch of the wall in the foreground from near bridge of Westfield. There is a mixture if wire, pastel, crayon, acrylic and linseed oil.
I love this rusty orange roof and the Caithness Flagstone walls.  Still to be attached and framed.

Line sheet for retail stone jewellery

If you have an interest in getting me to make you an item with your own stone, below are the most popular designs that I make.

Please send me a message first and I’ll tell you where to post your stones.

Sunday sketchbook tour at John O’Groats

 I took a small group of artists out for a sketchbook class one Sunday and we settled at John O’Groats harbour. Thankfully it was unseasonably warm which made the whole experience very pleasant for outdoor drawing in March (from this photo you will see we dressed for the expected temperature but we were able to sit comfortably for 2 hours) This is the north of Scotland after all, who doesn’t come dressed with woolly hats and fingerless gloves at this time of year! A collaboration between John O’groats Mill Trust and Lyth Art Centre funded the project. The aim, to offer an architectural tour around the newly refurbished mill and surrounding area.  The project was slightly behind schedule and therefore still technically a building site so we opted to not walk over to the mill as we’d have had to view it behind a tall fence at the path. It didn’t spoil our day though as we enjoyed tackling the colourful buildings of John O’groats with boats in the foreground.  The island vie...

More Than A Half Life

 I’ve been working in a new project called ‘More Than A Half Life’ which deal with nuclear heritage and I have until the end of May to have it completed. One of the main strands I’m concentrating on is the route to work. Dounreay workers not only travel from all over the county but also travel up and down from the south every week. Last week I took my bike out to cover the last ten miles of the route to photograph aspects of the view that many had mentioned to be their favourite part of their journey to work. Below is a link where you can purchase many of my photographs https://lindseygallacher.shootproof.com/gallery/24080380/
