Exhibition: The Art of Intelligent Ageing

Nobel prize winner Peter Higgs, whose name is celebrated after the discovery of the Higgs Boson particle, was painted 2015.  I was thrilled when Peter got in touch with me to paint him as I was “big on his conscience”.  I had met him on a number 27 bus in Edinburgh.  Now I see him frequently for lunch at our favourite Greek restaurant in Edinburgh.
