Fife fossils

 I forgot to take any photos of my printmaking. I did take some snaps when I went fossil hunting in Fife the other day though! The East Wemyss foreshore and cliffs offer an abundance of carboniferous shales and fine sandstone, full of exciting plant deposits. This big rock shown above is the fossilised remains of part of a giant tree fern, about 300 million years old.
Next up, I'm going to the Isle of Jura on the west coast for a week of painting and whisky sipping so there'll be no action here for a while. If you're in need of a landscape fix in the interim, don't forget it's not to late to visit Frames Gallery in Perth to see my most recent work.
