It looks superb Gillian the texture of the stones is excellent and the shadows are really well painted.

Really good; I feel cold just looking at it.

Excellent Gillian.

Really good Gillian, there's a real power that emanates from these stones

Thanks for your comments

Such a powerful painting Gillian. Love the textures and light on the stones.

Mystery, sunlight, cold.....all caught in this super painting.

Really sharp Gillian. Feels cold

You’ve captured the essence of the place Gillian…….beautifully done.

Great sense of the light .
