Scottish Countryside


This is a 12x6 oil that was inspired by a dear friends photograph from her trip to Scotland.  The photo was taken around West Kilbride.  I have been studying my  Van Gogh books to emulate his wonderful strokes of wheat.  I hope to do more of this series also, so check back for some more Van Gogh inspirations.

  2. If you're going to be inspired, Van Gogh is a great choice! This has a beautiful, lyrical quality to it.
