You’ve certainly excelled with that sky, a rather well constructed and atmospheric painting!

Many thanks David, Jacqueline, Alan, Paul, Carole, Sarah, Ellen, Heather for your very kind comments. Sad to leave such a wonderful and inspiring area but, I have new subjects and inspiring views to try my hand at.

Thank you ever so much everyone, your kinds words and encouragement are a gift. I hope you’ve enjoyed the last ten years of Galloway as much as I have. You are right on both counts Michael……I may not have been painting for the couple of months I’ve been here but I’ve been doing plenty of looking! Thank you.

I love your use of textured paint and brushwork Fiona. It has created a very atmospheric painting.

12”x10” oil on board. Not only my last oil painting in 8 months but my last painting of the Galloway Hills before moving. A fairly good description of the view, on a blustery March day.
