Standing Stones, Machrie Moor
Standing Stones, Machrie Moor
Pastel on Sennelier La Carte
16x12 inches
Here's a landscape painting, the first I've done in absolutely ages. These stones are one set of about 13 on the amazingly atmospheric Machrie Moor on the Isle of Arran. We stopped for a while here and soaked up the atmosphere (and a dram of whisky).
In the painting I wanted to capture that atmosphere and sense of peace and remoteness that we felt there.
