Back to Scotland again. This water colour was painted a few years ago when traveling and exploring up in the far North West. A very small bay, near to Kinlochbgrieve, a few difficult to access miles south of Cape Wrath. When seeing this bay in the distance over the hills and stopping the car on the road, I started walking, having to traverse several fields, stone walls and slopes until finally reaching this charming place; quiet an effort was needed. I stayed there a good few hours. It was a little cool, that didnt matter as I was wearing a good fleese, but the sun shone and it appeared to be much like to the Garden of Eden.
I will never forget the quietness and calm of the place. Apart from the obvious beauty of the bay, what I remember most is the calm and quietness; I actually relaxed and stopped; taking no photographs, just painting this watercolour. God's creation at times is simpley amazing. After a long while the treck back to the car was taken, it was much more ardious and this time rather steeply uphill than the desent; I will admit that it made me puff a little. but boy was it worthy it.
