Drawing on Clydeside with @lachlangoudie

The Greenock-based artist-led Absent Voices project continues to head off in all sorts of directions.

I'm looking after all the media for this initiative which blips as SugarSheds1

Today, one of the eight Absent Voices artists, Rod Miller, and I met with painter Lachlan Goudie at The Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock.

Lachlan is a fine artist, who has been chronicling life at shipyards in Govan, Glasgow, and in Rosyth in Fife in recent years.

He's also been forging a career as a broadcaster and he's currently researching the life and work of Sir Stanley Spencer, who spent time as a war artist in Port Glasgow on Clydeside during the Second World War.

There's a BBC documentary planned for early next year on Spencer, who created an extraordinary series of paintings based on his observations of daily life in Port Glasgow during the early years of the war.

Lachlan is charting the demise of the giant cranes in Govan, which many fellow Blippers, including Colin Templeton have been doing too.

He was showing Rod and I his sketches in this photograph although you can't see them very clearly.

He has just posted the sketches on Twitter for Rod and myself, so you can take a look at Lachlan on Twitter
