Loch Lomond from Inversnaid

Comments

Its very nice Pat .The tree is a bit Central,but i don't think id move it .I would create an area of on the hills behind and the tree would stand out a bit more . But its fine now i think that might just enhance it a bit. Well done Pat and thankyou for commenting on my paintings,much appreciated.

Lovely work Pat, the Inversnaid Hotel is not too many miles from me so I know the view.Were you walking the West Highland way?

Ah - this is so very Scottish, with the wonderful colours on the hills and the trees on the lochside. I think you have captured the special atmosphere beautifully.

This is a small oil painting done this week on Arches Oil Paper. It's a view across Loch Lomond from the Inversnaid Hotel. I've found that Oil paper is ideal for holiday sketches and it tends to dry more quickly. The composition is not quite right - the tree is a bit too central, but I might change it a bit and scale it up on canvas This was sketched and painted on Wednesday afternoon with this lovely view in front of me - took about 2 hours. Just needs a yellow/orange glaze as the leaves on the trees were just starting to turn gold for Autumn.
