The heater is on

Image Leave a comment

As October kicks in the temperatures are falling in Edinburgh

It is freezing today in the studio and this wee heater is working overtime keeping my fingers nimble enough to draw. October has started with wind and rain and a proper chill in the air. Time to layer up 🙂

Plus have a big job to finish so I am sketching anything in sight rather than get the job done. Not good enough, I will get back to it now I promise!!

New Scottish gallery space opens

Image Leave a comment

New rooms open to the public this weekend and I had a sneak peak.

The new Scottish Galleries at National Galleries Scotland open this weekend, showcasing Scottish Art from 1800 to 1945. The works collected tell a fascinating story, in a bright new space overlooking Princes Street Gardens.

Free to visit which is amazing, I thoroughly recommend a trip to see these great works of art, I couldn’t stop scribbling down names that I wanted to research later, so much inspiration from creative Scots.

Also very inspiring was the views opposite the artworks, great big windows frame the Princes Street Gardens and the Waverley Railway Station.

I loved seeing works from artists I hadn’t heard of, lots to research later and I look forward to returning again and again. The new galleries are open from this Saturday, 30th September at 10am.

Autumn winds bring colour

Image Leave a comment

With the first big winds of late September it seems that overnight the seasons changed in Edinburgh.

Last night we had a stormy night, strong winds and rain meant we heard the tiles clattering on the roof as I laid in bed and this morning I had a nervous look at the garden fence to see if any of the hardy panels had finally given up. Thankfully they held strong 🙂

But on the walk to school I could see the trees had let go of plenty of leaves, twigs and hundreds of conkers which we had been eagerly waiting for. Looking up to the branches in previous weeks, trying in vain to reach and grab a spiky shell , or finding one only to find the nut not ready. And then overnight we were surrounded, I think we will drill a few tonight for a game of conkers.

The Return of Sherlock Holmes

Image Leave a comment

The return of Sherlock marks the near completion of the tram works at Picardy Place.

The statue which marks the nearby birthplace of author Sir Arthur Canon Doyle was removed for the restructuring of this junction and is now back in place.

Surrounded by benches, cycle paths and some trees Sherlock looks set to be watching over the busy junction for many years to come. I look forward to seeing the area once all the fences come down and the doozers move out.
