Choughs away

Did thison my first morning in Islay, and went a bit crazy with the inks, but I enjoyed doing it, and though the splats were accidental, I like the randomness and slight craziness of it all. Guess the sun and wind and beautiful views were inspiring me to let go. Had also just seen some choughs, (endangered birds that look a bit like blackbirds but with red legs and beaks and swooping flight) so that lifted us up no end. Tried to draw them but dogs were mightily interested in them too so had to drag them and us away.

  2. There are lots of blues and purples in the highlands and islands, you've just managed to tease them out, where most others fail. Beautiful work, so full of 'life'

  3. Great blotches! You have depth and volume there, so beautifully rendered.
