Excellent ! Really captures the bulk of Slioch, love the colors in the bright highland clear air.

Hi Val you haven't lost your touch a beautiful painting. I have not been on this site much since losing Max a year ago. I was in hospital for three months Betty

Sorry, I missed this one, Val (too taken up with producing one-liners!). This has all the magic and rich colours of Scotland and it has almost taken on an abstract quality with the swathes of colour criss-crossing the painting. A beautiful scene well captured.

Thanks for taking a peek :)
