Home of the Dallas Cowboys

Got to visit Cowboy Stadium in Dallas to watch my niece's high school team play in their State Championship final. About a 5 hour drive each way. This huge stadium puts UK stadiums to shame for the quality inside the place. Even the seats were padded and the whole place has a roof on it.

Texas Dec 2011

Well here I am in Texas visiting my sister.  It hardly ever rains here but strangely it all reminds me of home in Scotland. Watch this space over the comings days and weeks to see what happens during my stay here.

Edinburgh with the lights on!

Here is a photo I took of Edinburgh late yesterday afternoon.  Hope you like it.

Painting and drawing from my sketchbook - Culloden

My niece Kimberly is over from Texas and wanted to vist Culloden, near Inverness, today.  She really enjoyed the visit and whilst there I completed a drawing of Leanach Cottage and a view of the actual battlefield from the cottage itself.  The battle took place in 1746 and lasted less than an hour.
