I was delighted to be able to continue painting this portrait from life and very honoured indeed to receive in my studio the Chief of our ancient family. Here are some images of our recent sitting with His Grace The Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, Chief of Clan Scott and associated families.

This session was originally planned for September 2022, during the week in which HM Queen Elizabeth died. As the Duke played a very active role in the arrangements for the royal funeral, our sitting was postponed. During his visit to my studio I found it very sobering to hear about the tremendous collaboration required to mark such a poignant funeral.
