This painting has taken eons as I had to put it away because it just wasn't working. I struggle with tone and colour but will get there eventually. Beats worrying about the mortgage anyway!

We spent a week on the West coast of Scotland and have to say it was a beautiful peaceful time in which to relax and listen to what is important. This is Kilmartin, a small village within an area with one of the richest concentrations of prehistoric monuments and historical sites in Scotland. It contains over 350 monuments within a 6 mile radius. Amazing.
