Talented Truck Drivers
In previous years, I travelled around Scotland a lot more than I have been able to more recently. This has meant that much of my painting has been based locally. I have commented that I look forward to travelling more.
Last week, I had a visit from a friend, Ed, who is a lorry driver. Ed had told me earlier in the year that he is interested in photography. He showed me some of his photos which he had taken with his mobile phone when he is out driving, sometimes very early in the morning as the sun is rising. Some of the shots were fantastic.
I did not hesitate in asking for permission to use them as source material for some painting. Above is my first “Ed Landscape” based on a photograph of some early morning “Scotch Mist” over a valley to the west of Glasgow.
More Ed’s soon!
