A while back I received a request from Edinburgh's Museums and Galleries director. Could we use one of your images to promote the reopening after refurbishment of the city's museums and galleries?
They drew up a shortlist of four artist's work. Alan Davie was one of the others. He has a huge international reputation so I thought they'd go for him and thought no more about it. Until, I received a picture on my phone yesterday.

Back tyre needs more air
I wonder what the truck is 'working wonders with'?
Stopped on a double yellow?? Tut tut...
Oh, nice work btw. 🙂
Fantastic! Could we see some of your other work?
I wonder what the truck is 'working wonders with'?
I reckon it's "waste"
Well done Señor McMoonter...that must mean a lot.
'working wonders with woodpiles'
Coolio, congratulations.
Well done 🙂 must be immensely rewarding
Edit:
I'm going to Edinburgh in next couple of weeks, the Modern & Dean has been recommended to me on here - I'll keep an eye out for your image
I'm really chuffed with it.
Now, badly paraphrasing Joni Mitchell, if I could only work out a way to charge folks 'a dollar and a half just to see them'
The trees are all in my woodpile.
That must be a real rush, great achievement.
Nice one mcmoonter.
Recognition for all those hours of hard work is very rewarding.
I hope it brings you more work too 🙂
Wow! Nice one!
Brilliant 🙂
Cool. Congrats 😀
Well done! It looks fantastic too
Superb, well done. Got links to any of your other stuff?
Very well done.

An artist and engineer who'd a thunk those two were compatible?! 😆
Thanks for the encouragement folks. Painting can be a solitary pursuit.
