A kilt painting in oil that has possibly taken longe rto finish than any other which I have painted before. Flower OF Scotland has quite a lot going on in it.

When I first began to paint, I became known for painting celebrity art, especially following appearing in two books on th esubject. following this the Kilt Art really caught peoples interest.
