This is a painting practice rooted in landscape observation - the fields, light, and seasons of East Lothian - and an experiment in what happens when artificial intelligence enters the studio.

AI is not the subject here. It is a collaborator: sometimes useful, sometimes limited, occasionally surprising. It has helped with colour mixing, compositional decisions, artist research, and critical feedback. It has also failed, misunderstood, and been ignored.

The work begins outside - walking, looking, noticing. The colour of turned earth in spring. Rope tied to a fence. The green of wheat in June. These observations become colour relationships, which become paintings.

What AI changes - and what it doesn't - is the ongoing question.
