Painting by Callum Innes called “Intense White”, 2002, Oil on linen, Kirkcaldy Art Gallery. Innes' work usually focusses on a single colour, or a limited group of tones, which are applied to and removed from the canvas - 'painting and unpainting', as he describes it. When facing the painting, it appears to be a uniform square of intense white, however, when viewed, as in the image, from an angle on the right hand side, a smaller internal square is just visible on the left of the canvas. The wall on which it is hung is grey/green.

Windows in the City Art Centre Edinburgh. Three glass panels with eighteen squares in each. Internal lighting is subdued, with a some small down-lighters and spotlights visible. Walls and surrounds are yellowish / ochre with a parquet floor. Outside the windows, the sky is blue and structures of the Edinburgh skyline, looking North, are suggested.

Line of trees on the ridge of a small slope covered in grass. The sky behind the trees is bright blue, with some small clouds drifting across. Walking on a path from Dunfermline to Crossford.
