About the artist

The man they call Geordie

Geordie has spent a lifetime looking closely at the places most of us hurry past — a weather-worn kirk, a castle keeping its loch, the honest span of an old stone bridge. He paints them the way he sees them: quickly, warmly, and all in one sitting.

His method is watercolour over ink. First the pen, chasing every window, chimney and cobble; then the wash, let loose to run where it will. The result is a kind of ordered spontaneity — precise and free at once, the way a good afternoon of painting should be.

Made to last

Each painting is offered as a museum-grade print, so an original that exists only once can hang in many homes. Prints are produced on demand — nothing is mass-made or sitting in a warehouse — and shipped, carefully packed, anywhere in the world.

Every piece here is © the artist. Buying a print supports an independent painter directly, and puts a little of Britain’s old character on your wall.
