Goudie studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the early Fifties. He showed particular promise as a draughtsman and in painting large-scale works and was awarded the Newberry Medal. On leaving college, he took an extended sabbatical in France and toured, holidayed and painted extensively in Provence and

Normandy. But he found a particular inspiration in Brittany: its rugged seascapes reminded him of his native land and he returned annually to paint there.
