A great railway day out!

Make a railway day out of it with ScotRail. Dunfermline is a brilliant visit by train:

- the excellent excellent Carnegie Library & Galleries

- Dunfermline Abbey & Palace

- Pittencrieff Park with its peacocks and playparks, glasshouses and wooded waterfalled glen

- the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum

- great cafes

- great High Street

And more!

How to get there:

Get the train to Dunfermline City station and enjoy a 10-15 minute walk up to the town centre through the hilly green Public Park, or walk the interesting streets past the Alhambra Theatre.

Take your bike?

Or do as I did and get off the train one stop further at Dunfermline Queen Margaret Station and walk or cycle the mile and a half along really nice tree-lined old railway cycle path. You emerge only a short distance from the Fire Station Creative.

Artful exhibition, Callendar House

A companion to my blog post about a Scotland By Rail trip to Callendar Park and Callendar House in Falkirk.

I'm delighted to be part of Artful exhibition which is on in the ground floor gallery in Callendar House until 11th January 2025. I hope you'll be able to visit. 

Read this previous blog post and make a day of it

The space I was offered in the gallery is large so I'm able to show one of my very large canvases which hardly ever get seen, as well as a selection of what I more usually consider my 'large' works. There is also a whole grid of my miniature wall works and a display cabinet of my miniatures on ceramic and my wood engravings.

Here is the large wall including the giant painting,

And the rest:

And a bit of the rest of the exhibition. It's a brilliant exciting mix of painting, printmaking, ceramics, jewellery.

Here are images of all my works. Do get in touch if you wish to know titles, sizes, prices.
