Esherness is on the West Coast of the Shetland Mainland. This is a large canvas painted with acrylic. A gale was blowing when I was there so a quick sketch was made and the picture was then made in my studio. This type of subject makes for great fun when paintong as there is a mass of movement to portray.

      Thank you, the wind was blowing very hard when I was there. Ian.

    Great work Ian, atmospheric and I like the reddish ground showing through!

      Many thanks. I have been told to remove the figures from the cliff top as they are not needed to give scale. I am glad you liked the strong background. Ian.
