Isle of arran.

Commision, took off a old b/w photo which was sent to me from the person I did this for,She is moving there shortly,Her aunt used to live here, so it holds fond memories.The building on the left used to be the lagg hotel, the isle of arran is in scotland, there are few inhabitants of 4,500, and is a very peaceful and beautiful place to visit.The smoke from the chimneys is going in different directions, this shows crossed winds.----Sold

This is such a beautiful scene! The different trees in the BG are very well done and I like how your eyes are taken up the hill by the dirt road. Great job it's all very nice, again! I love your work!

I love this wonderful work. Something about the middle of it, the slope between the trees is inviting. Seems the wind is blowing some from the direction of the smoke and trees. It gives me the feeling of coolness, not cold but cool, maybe about to rain too.

I love this! You can almost see the grass and the tree branches waving in the wind. I love pastel but I can't do landscapes to save my life! (Any tips very greatfully received!!) :-)

I like the general look and feel of this landscape, my sugestion to improve this would be to get a little more depth of color in though this might be due to the uplaod and the smoke and direction of the wind should be going in the same direction. how ever this said, really do like the the overal composition and detail textures..

Artist Reply: Thankyou for your comments, and observation Alex, The original Pastel is brighter, but the client has now got it, will email her and ask her to take another photo to send me, the smoke is exactly the same as on the photo, I too thought it strange, The client was thrilled with it , so that I am happy with.
