The Art of Whisky

Whisky Commission from Glasgow to Orkney via Islay and the Spey Valley

Many years ago when I still had my studio on the top floor of Crispin Hall in Street a visitor plodded up the forty seven steps to my room to ask if I did commissions.On hearing my reply that I was pretty busy at the time and did not know if I could fit something in he then told me that it was to paint twelve paintings of Whisky Distilleries throughout Scotland, about two years work with  all expenses paid.
After a nano seconds thought I asked if I could change my mind and do the job and strangely nearly all my friends offered to come and old my brushes for me.

All I have to remind me of the work are these few rough drawings which were done for the CEO to choose which ones he would like me to do paintings of.
