An exhibition of his paintings, one of which is pictured left, will run at the Open Eye Gallery, 34 Abercromby Place, Edinburgh, east of Heriot Row, until Tuesday, November 3.

Cree had a one man show at the Lyceum Club Gallery in 1957 and has exhibited in a range of group exhibitions in Scottish galleries and with The Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour.

His work has found its way into private collections in this country, Sweden, the USA, Israel, Japan and Borneo. The Nuffield Foundation and The Scottish Arts Council have also bought his work.
