Linlithgow Palace - watercolor

watercolor, 2016
available, 9"x12"

      Yet another reference from Scotland. The reference photo for this one wasn't quite so dark and foreboding. But, it's a ruin of a Scottish castle. It's just screaming for a gothic horror treatment. It's just a quick sketch anyway.

Abbey St. Bathans Old Kirk - watercolor

watercolor, 2016
available, 9"x12"

      Another one from Scotland for Virtual Paintout. In some locations for VP it's hard to find anything that appeals to me. Then there's Ireland and now Scotland where I can't stop myself. There's a limit of three pieces for the VP site. But, I already have eight references set aside, including two more views of this church. I might not do them all, or, I might do them and find more.
      From the technical side, I don't think I could have asked for this one to have turned out better. It's every bit the British Impressionism I've been chasing.
