Painting on the Edge

To paint on this active archaeological site means being able to hold onto the canvas as the winds can be strong. Time is critical before sudden rainstorms. Thus, most of my work is no larger than 12 x 12 inches. My primary medium is oil for its water resistance. I have often added earth of the site as pigment into my oils for a mixed media effect. Amazingly, one season I did manage some watercolours!

Welcome to My Online Exihibition

I have tried to give enough information about the media used and the measurements of each work. I default to inches and try to add the metrics, where possible.

My titles will help you to coordinate with information about the structures at the Ness of Brodgar. You may find helpful information at https://nessofbrodgar.co.uk

Enjoy! I believe this to be a complete body of work from 2018 - 2022.

With the Ness closing and being covered over in 2024, all art created on the site becomes all the more special. There are still some originals available after the closing of my successful OVER THE EDGE exhibition, 29th July - 9th August. Online sales will stop 20 October 2023, so don't miss your chance to purchase an original.

Notes on the exhibition

Orkney is a place that continues to fulfill me. The people in Orkney’s past have given me structures and standing stones that have challenged my artwork. Since 1983, the people I have met on Orkney have supported my various ideas and activities.  Both the past and present have been living under the same sky and on the same earth that continues to delight and inspire.

With this in mind, the majority of the proceeds from the sale of any artwork associated with my OVER THE EDGE exhibition will be donated to The Peedie Retreat and the Ness of Brodgar.

What is a SPLADONGA?  You will note many titles using the word SPLADONGA.*
It stand for “specific point location – adonga.” In 2018, I was captivated by repeated rectangular recesses in the sondage areas in the Main Trench and Trench T. Dr. Jo McKenzie, the site's micro morphologist, said there was no name for these areas left after the removal of a soil sample called a Kubiena
tin. (For more info see: Dig Diary Special - Dr Jo McKenzie). So, she suggested I create a word. 

Thus, SPLADONGA* was born.

  • SOLD IN THE LOCHVIEW GARDEN at the Ness 2022

    Lochview is the name of the house where much of the research is happening. These 2 standing stones, are so easily passed by as diggers alike arrive in summer to park their cars.

    Sometimes the wind is blowing at the Ness and time seems
    short. I took my oil filled brush and on paper, painted swiftly the moment of
    clouds over Hoy. In the foreground, the tyres that wait to be placed back on
    the site for winter show up black along the shore of the Stenness Loch. Always
    the band of land across the Loch is crossed by dykes, and roads.

  • SOLD STRUCTURE 1 WORKING ON REMOVING THOSE ORTHOSTATS at the Ness 2022

    Structure one has an area with 3 large orthostats that just lined up with beauty and form. Then wrapped around them, were small finds tags. Already, one was removed and I feared more would change before I had a chance to paint them. The middle one appears to be inside a hearth? Or it appears to be fenced in. I wonder why?

  • ORTHOSTATS-GRIDS-BUCKETS at the Ness 2022

    Trench T was really a delight with hearths, digger's grids, buckets and those 3 orthostats on the northern (left edge of painting) edge. I have been looking at those for the past few years and now at least another one is all wrapped up in plastic to protect the marks discovered on it.

  • IN THE PLAZA, THE MAIN STONE IS TYRED at the Ness 2022

    This large orthostat is or was a standing stone in what may be a central plaza. It is important enough to be aided by a wood framework. Digging has slowed down as 2022 approached the final layers and not every inch of Trench P was uncovered. So the black plastic and tyres form a common backdrop at the sight. I love the round tyres and the many colours of their blackness.

  • THE DISTANT RING at the Ness 2022

    Sometimes while I am perched around the edge of the well done trenches, I look up and across the shifted earth. I imagine what it may have looked like 6,000 years ago when this complex began. This painting sets the ring in the distance with the land bridge dividing the 2 lochs. I imagine the Ring to predate the complex being excavated for now, 20 years!

    WITH THE WIND, EVERYONE WORKS FAST TO WRAP IT UP

    The wind was blowing and the rain was streaming down and there was a well orchestrated sharing of help. Each person grabbed a bit of the huge plastic and like a roundabout, they pulled and stretched it across the yawning trench. I grabbed a canvas panel and whipped the paint on, rather uncharacteristic for me, I added the blur of the moving shapes. The Ring of Brodgar was barely visible and the Brodgar farmhouse was reaching out with its attached sunroom. I like to think I caught the energy of the moment and the grey of the weather.

  • SITTING ON THE EDGE BELOW THE SPOIL HEAP LOOKING ACROSS STRUCTURE 12 at the Ness 2021

    It was a struggle to work on such a large canvas with the wind often taking it away. Thus, I used a limited palette. There is Ness dirt scattered around it and graphite. BUT, creating this vertical version allowed me to go from the original 6,000 year old floor to the top of the trench. A bit like a tree ring, as the top is 2021!

ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF STRUCTURE 12 at the Ness 2021

I was rushing to use these panoramic stretched canvas but they had begun to close the Ness. I focused on the top layer of stones and again there was the curve of the structure contrasting with the angle cut from the earth to get there over on the right side of the image.
