Balmaha Marina, Loch Lomond. Acrylic on canvas.
My latest artistic quest was to paint a scene from our recent trip to Loch Lomond. It’s taken from a photo I took, looking out at the Loch from Balmaha boat yard. I chose this scene because I was fascinated by the calmness of the water, which provided an almost artificial looking, greyish mirror image of the sky. The biggest challenge was recreating this, whilst depicting the soft ripples in the foreground.

Lighthouse on a misty evening. Acrylic on canvas.
Laura’s always had a thing about lighthouses, so after many months of “when will you paint me something?” I set aside a Sunday afternoon to put acrylic to canvas. And I’m happy with the way it turned out – the detail of the lighthouse works well against the broad brush strokes and subtle hues of the backdrop, creating the desired atmospheric effect. I think she was happy with the present.
