My last painting on Tiree for 2023. A grey wet unpromising day, it being my last on the island, I needed to make it count.

A gorgeous bay. hinting at its brilliant colours hiding under the grey rain, a rusting seed drill warranting a closer look. Lazy Atlantic swell crumping onto the rocks. Corncrakes rasping on the machair.

This painting goes some way to explaining my love of the West Coast of Scotland.

Sparkling white surf on the rocks and beach. And a brisk Northerly keeping the midges away.
