His picture subjects range from Townscapes to Landscapes and include Castles, Golf Courses and Boats & Harbours. Dod has recently diversified into more figurative work and sports portraiture. Commissioned by Aberdeen Football Club to commemorate their Centenary in 2003, Dod produced the painting and subsequent print 'Legends of the First 100 Years', featuring 25 former Aberdeen Greats set against the backdrop of Pittodrie and the fans over the years. He has now followed this with 'The Claret Jug Winners' - an up to date group portrait of all the British Open Golf Champions - these prints have been exhibited in the USA and Japan. The original Claret Jug painting was recently bought by a Japanese doctor on a golfing visit to Scotland.

The large Sporting Group Portraits come with Certificates of Authenticity containing keys to the identities of the golfers and footballers.

The print is now available for purchase on the website.
