Isle of Arran

The photo I worked from was taken one October. It was a typical autumn day with sunshine, heavy showers and spectacular rainbows. There was a stag on the hillside opposite amongst the bracken. We'd walked along the tracks and came across this peaceful lake - a good place for a picnic! The painting is an oil, worked on canvas - I had it framed as I think it gives a better finish, although there is no need to frame the type of canvases where you can paint around the edges.
