8. These were very nosey young highland cows at Royal Brackla distillery. Measures 610mm by 508mm and currently available for £150.

9. This picture was the result of a spring walk last year along the river Nairn towards Cawdor, bluebells as far as the eye can see!

10. This is Chanonry point lighthouse on the Black Isle. Supposedly the best place in the UK for Dolphin spotting (i've had more success at Nairn Pier!). This measures 610mm by 610mm and is available for £150.

11. My dad took a photo of this scene at Dunrobin Castle so i painted it for my parents as a christmas present. I removed some of the tree at the top as it was partially obscuring the castle turrets. I had to use many varied shades of green and stippling to get the best effect for the gardens in the foreground. The Castle wall on the right looks slightly wrong but that is due to the painting being photographed at an angle.

12. This is stoofer, a picture i painted for my husband (his favourite cat). To give the eyes extra lustre i used metallic paints.

13. This is my husband Adam, he hates this picture, but i needed to try my hand at portraits. Anyone who knows him can see it is a good likeness.

14. This is a picture of my mother's cat Basil, a suprise picture for her birthday.
