About MeWhilst living in the Borders, McIntyre became interested in the local myths and customs.

This sweeping monochromatic drawing of a camouflaged poacher guddling for trout has a back-to-nature quality about it. There is a linear intensity about the painting which makes it plain and uncomplicated. The strong oval design is emphasised by the reflection in the water.
