Black grouse – a new painting
Colin has been working on this painting of black grouse over the last couple of weeks – it was on his easel at the Scottish Game Fair, and it’s now finished.
There’s a lovely iridescence in the male’s plumage, and the two greyhens are beautiful in their intricate camouflage. The grass was probably the biggest headache – weaving it around to make it look real!

Goodness, he’s so talented. The hens’ plumage looks impossible, let alone the grass. I’ve been meaning to say, I was so sorry to miss you at the Game Fair. I came with family in tow on the Friday and the one thing I insisted on doing was trying to find you; but somehow in the flurry of the day I failed to find Colin in the programme (found him once I was back home and could read at leisure, of course), and he turned out to be in the one row I didn’t go down! I was very cross with myself. Ah well, another time. 🙂
