Sunset over the River Forth

Comments

Absolutely stunning Val. You are so brave with colours. This is so effective. The Wallace monument gives it scale and is that Stirling Castle in the middle?. The reflections in the water are absolutely beautiful. I've seen a similar sunset from the other side of the Forth. I could really happily live with this on my wall

Vibrant, exciting, very bold painting! How you achieve this so brilliantly in pastels amazes me!

Very bold colours without being gaudy and I love the glossiness of the whole thing - almost like a batik painting on silk - gorgeous.

Sorry, another one of mine where you might need sunglasses LOL The River Forth from Cambus looking towards Stirling and the Wallace Monument ( far right, and with a little artistic licence as it is slightly larger than it is for real at that distance). Reference was a photo taken by Angus Turner who kindly gave his permission for me to use it.

Val Kenyon

I am a self taught artist or, as I like to say, I'm "unrestricted by formal teaching" which probably explains my mish mash of styles. I paint in most media, watercolour, gouache, oil, coloured pencil and my favourite, soft pastels. I'm inspired by the Scottish landscape, nature and animals and…
