" Scottish Artist " wifey
...................................................

hi there: My name is Rosie and as you
might have read I was born in Germany.
I studied art at the Muenster Uni, in fact it
was on assignment at Muenster Zoo that I
first met Peter, although we didn't know it at
the time. Peter was trying out his new
camera at the zoo and on the other side
of the enclosure there was me and my
class sitting painting the tigers.
We had a laugh years later when we
discovered that photograph. I fell in love
with Scotland during our first holiday
together we have been to many countries
but Scotland is my home.

Artist me

Howdy: My name is Peter and I was
born in Kirkcaldy, at the age of 15 I left
to join the army where I served for
15 years. I spent 12 of them mainly in
Germany including a year in Canada.

I am an aircraft engineer to trade.
I suppose I would have to call myself a
self-taught artist (or wifey taught).
Whether that would make me an artist
of the German school or an artist
of the Scottish school I do not really
know, chuckle chuckle.

I have qualifications in engineering
drawing as part of my trade which
probably helps with the perspectives.
I have always been interested in
photography as a means of capturing
an image and oil painting is the best
medium to raise that image up to the
next level.
As I am maturing I am becoming more
interested in history and genealogy
as one does, isn't the computer magic.
I have traced my ancestors back to the
potato famines and the highland
clearances which sort of brings history
alive.
I am privileged to be able to visit these
places and try to soak up the history as
portrayed by what remains, each with
their own stories to tell or secrets to hide.

I am challenged with trying to transfer
these images onto canvas for others
not so fortunately placed.
