very hard to say what this is about, maybe I should leave it to you, the discerning viewer! The title is from an old Farmhouse that I stayed at in the Luberon hills of France. It had an enclosed courtyard and was made entirely of dry stone dyking. This work is watercolour and gouache on cartridge paper, about A3 in size.

What a great painting Iain and the colours are fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!ellen blockley 08 Oct 2005
Iain,your paintings always catch my attention just a little bit longer than most because they all tell a story. Actually as you say, each viewer can have his own and that is such an important and strong quality for a painting. In this I like the repetive triangles, the way you have anchored your frame with a nut and bolt. The woman in the window looking out on to the figure departing in the boat can just have so many different meaning. Your colors and composition are strong and yes, this is another outstanding painting.Loredana 07 Oct 2005
