Stormy Weather
A view of one of my very favourite places - Yellowcraig in East Lothian, 35 miles down the coast from Edinburgh. The painting looks out from Yellowcraig's rocky (and sandy) beach at low tide, across to Fidra island in the Firth of Forth, to Fife beyond. I used to live near here for many years , and still visit each year, staying at the excellent campsite just 10 minutes stroll from this great view. The painting itself plays quite freely with the light and colour of the scene - for dramatic effect. I have to admit that the dramatic sky itself is actually taken from one I viewed from out of my window one night in my current home in Ellesmere, Shropshire - I claim artistic licence - though I've seen many similar skies at Yellowcraig on Google images and Flikr , so I think such a sky is a real possibility ! 30 inches x 24 inches by 1.5 inches. Deep box canvas. Image painted around the sides too.
