Jura 1

 Late Summer evening (Jura), watercolour 14" x 20" 2010

Back to painting today: I worked up a couple of things from my recent trip to The Isle of Jura. Here's one of them, a biggish watercolour of the evening light over Small Isles Bay. I'm off to the Borders for the weekend to see if my daughter can carry on my tradition of failing to triumph in art competitions - she's entering the Yarrow Show's children's art contests: a painted stone, a decorated wooden spoon and a painting of 'My Home'. Her stone in particular is very abstract in its design and I'm not sure this is the way to appeal to the judges... My mother however, has form at the Yarrow Show, so perhaps her luck will rub off on the young 'un.
