Burrowhead - Isle of Whithorn

Comments

The simplicity of this picture is its strength. I love the bold lines in the landscape.

Love the sky Fiona its contradictory, simple but complex at the same time if you know what I mean strength and movement? (you know what I am Like :) ) Like the others really like the bold strong lines. Nice one.

14”x12” watercolour, black and white conte crayon on Arches. Painted this a while back, it’s just up the coast from the Isle of Whithorn on the Galloway coast. Perhaps only a few of you are familiar with this place but many of you will be familiar with the cult film of the seventies, The Wicker Man. The burning of the Wicker man was filmed here, the stakes (legs) of the giant wicker man are still there teetering on the edge of the cliff.
