Peter Howson endured a dark 2012 as he spent the majority of the year in various Glasgow hospitals being treated for severe depression and other ailments, before finally being discharged around Christmas.
Now the painter, whose muscular and often religious works are still keenly collected, is ready to exhibit his new work at the Maclaurin Art Gallery in Ayr, close to where he grew up in Prestwick.
