#art #photography #metro There's a certain aesthetic to stations. Where modernity meets how a generation sees itself. Washington Metro was planned in the 50s and opened in the mid 70s. There's an imposing symmetry to it. Very focused and rigid, no nonsense, as I see it. Next Stop Sept 26

#art #photography #travel My camera isn't the best. I reshape and bend the reality of my shots.The flourishes of colour or bonus details allow me to further drive home the intended feelings. This work serves as the joy of travelling somewhere new and exciting 😎 Entitled Hop on, Sept 26

#art #photography #edinburgh #nature Very reflective, this one. Along the Water of Leith it is very verdant and the water is full of colour. I wanted to create a calming underwater feel here. Also the sensation of strolling by the shady trees on a sunny day. Plunge, May 26

#art #photography #landscape Part of a handful of works based on Beltane Fire Festival, this one in particular captures the magical feeling the night evokes. Celebrating Summers arrival via performance art and a big ol' bonfire. Wrap up well though and come prepared 😎 Ritualism, May26

#art #photography #landscape. #edinburgh The view from Edinburgh Castle's carpark is a mighty fine sight. Clearly I've taken some liberties, but that's just par fir the course wi' me😎 Sometimes I go a bit overboard, and sometimes it's utterly justified! Take it in, April 26

#art #photography #cityscape I just had a moment of inspiration, when posting this vis-a vis the title😆 The day this was taken was supposed to be a picnic in the park.Then the rain came, with it's partner in crime, the wind. Still, this striking rainbow made it worthwhile! Strong Bow, April 26

#art #edinburgh #cityscape Maybe this gives aff shades of Gaudi, but dinnae be fooled! For it is Edinburgh, and just my artwork. Not much tinkering for this one as I feel the colours and slight alterations elevate the work just fine.

#art #photography #edinburgh #cityscape I shot the original just outside the Caledonian, gazing up at the Castle. For this artwork I wanted to stress a sense of Edinburgh's sophistication as well as its warming (not weather wise!) atmosphere. Entitled, Sight fir sore eyes, Feb 26

#art#edinburgh#photography#cityscape Taken whilst walking over the Dean bridge, this is one of Edinburgh's private gardens. Snow not included in the price😉 I wanted to create an old timey feel to what I perceive to be an outdated affair. Hence the faded vibe. Entitled Peace and quiet, Jan 26

#art#photography#cityscape My SO coined this Silent Hill-esque. It may have shades of mystery & a haunting aura, yet it's at least leaps and bounds more accomplished than the recent film😉 Whilst it appears bleak, I believe there is suggestion to be hopeful. Make it through, Jan 26

#art#photography Against my better judgement, I was dragged up Calton Hill to see in the NY. Loaded up with supplies and blankets up we went.Took the camera, and the shots were increasingly blurry as the empty cans piled up! Still, I managed to create a sense of the occasion. Worth it, Jan 26

#art#photography#edinburgh#cityscape A previous post of mine used a near identical scene, yet was a veritable orgy of colour. Here the wintery snow is the focal point. Mainly due to Edinburgh having so little of late. Careful what I wish for eh? Nippy oot, Jan 26

#art #landscape #photography #scotland I aim to keep the colour schemes in my art natural; believable. Sometimes though, I find it impossible to resist the lure of bold, striking combinations. I wrestled with the overbearing pink bar, yet it makes the whole scene pop so it stays😎 Adrift, Dec 25

#art#photography#cityscape By pixelating photos and playing around with scale and shape I can alter the feel of my art. Here, I tried to capture the sense of going up town for a few drinks, the sun is settling making you feel like you've entered a movie scene😎 Consumed, Dec 25

#art#photography#Edinburgh#cityscape The basis of my work doesn't have to be on some cosmic level. Here, a few rain drops at sunrise was all it took to motivate me. Aside fae a little colour correction and wee flourishes, its simplicity shines! Drop on by, Dec 25

#art#landscape#photography Some places are etched into history. Maybe a poem, a painting, even a famous person lived there? In the case of Loch Lomond, I'd wager a certain song about its beauty is the cause. It was hard to drag myself away, even with the pesky misty rain! This, and a dram, Dec 25

#art #photo #cityscape There's an alluring hypnotism at play here, in what seems rather dull on initial approach. The patterns in the background, the welcoming orange notes amplify the relaxing tones of the scene, complimenting the architecture. Never overpowering it. Quaint, Nov 25

#art #photography This is the second version of this work. The first is more subdued. I like to do more than one version instead of resorting to watermarks.I have proof it's my work and also have alternatives that can transform how the viewer interprets the art 😀 A glow inside us, Nov 25.

#art #landscape #photography By having one thing be the sole focus of the work, I can find ways to compliment it. Be it intriguing shades of colour, or abstract shapes in which to elevate the scene. As with other artworks, I paired a night scene with a day scene to make it pop😎 Elsewhere, Nov 25

#art #photography #landscape I went full tilt with the autumnal vibes here as I wanted maximum cozy feels. In order to get the effect of the scene having lit up windows I overlayed multiples of a fireworks night photo that I hope sells the illusion yet remains arty. Wee Sparks, Nov 25

#art #photography #cityscape I like to imagine what fictional scenarios would appear as if set in other cities. So here we have a Bladerunner-esque Edinburgh. Bleak, yet with an understated style. I purposely muted the colour scheme for a truly dystopian feel. Denoise, Nov 25

#art #landscape #photography It can be tricky to keep a minimal colour scheme captivating. So I employ tactical manipulation in my art so that the scene will maintain folks attention. The intention here was to make it seem like the viewer is walking the path for a closer look. Gently, Oct 25
