"Istanbul must be one of the most vibrant cities in the world - divided between Europe and the East by the Bosphorus. The Turks say the ferryboats, originally built in Glasgow, are the jewelled necklace of the sea and the city and from my studio in Uskudar, on the Asian side, I was able to watch all the moods of its' beauty as many Istanbulus have done for centuries and never tire of it..."
Not surprisingly, if you have been there, many of my Istanbul paintings home in on the Bosphorus, its' constantly changing light both day and night and the business it nurtures.
