Blue Hills Print

This is a pond at the edge of a very boggy meadow that used to belong to a friend living in S W Scotland. Filled with natural growing shrubs and trees, tall waving spindly grasses, and narrow pathways made by small animals, I think of it as a Wild Garden. As such, it has formed the inspiration for a series of paintings. This is the latest addition to that series. At the edge of the Wild Garden, one can see across the pond to the far distant hills. They always have this beautiful blue colour and presented themselves as a marvellous subject - once I had found a sturdy bit of ground to stand on. I can only make sketchbook paintings here because the ground underfoot is so boggy, but that sketchbook work has proved the great source of inspiration for all the paintings. I hope you will have enjoyed looking at this picture as much as I enjoyed painting it ! Please note that this painting is unframed. Dimensions 36x24inches, the artwork ships well protected by packaging inside a robust cardboard box.
