Outside the Black Houses.

Fabulous textures Sylvia! The bare branch set against the most basic of materials….stone….is a snapshot of the interior and way of life for the people that lived in the Black Houses. I’ve visited the same ones Sylvia.

Really eye catching and I agree with Fiona's comments

I like this a lot!

Beautiful 💕

Very good Sylvia.

There's real interest in stone walls, great patterns and colours. Nice one.

It's not easy to get a stone wall to look convincing, but you've achieved it here Sylvia.

So many positive comments , thank you. This wall is in Scotland but living in sheep country in Wales I see a lot of dry stone work though ours here in wales are slate and limestone I think the Scottish ones have a lot of granite in them. Incidentally my husband was a Stonemason so I spent a lot of 58 years being taught about stone,and granite and marble......

A striking painting Sylvia, I do love a stone wall like this and your explanation about the Black houses makes it more interesting still.

Just looked up The Black Houses as has not heard of them: how fascinating- great options for painting/drawing!

Thank you Tessa, Harris and Lewis are both amazing .

A great stone wall Sylvia.

A superb painting Sylvia. I will look up the Bleak Houses .

Christine, Paul...thank you. The Black houses are fascinating Paul. Tge islands are wonderful. Also the home of Harris Tweed.

The arrangements and colours of the stones are beautiful Sylvia.

Happy you like it Carole.

Oh this is so good Sylvia! You've really caught the heart and soul of those pebbles!

Diane thank you.

Very effective Sylvia.

Thank you Ross.

Blue stones! Are they the same as Stonehenge stones, but smaller? Or plain old granite? Love um!
