| Just had to paint this little red boat (can you see his smiley face). My hubby was in a panic as we had just over 15 mins before the train left! |

| This is what I painted when I had my free time. The Loch is a sea Loch and is Loch Shiel. Apparently there were otters and deer nearby, but I never saw them. Have a lovely Sunday! |
How wonderful, and aren't you the clever one to get out of a hike and paint instead. I like the little red boat sketch best, but they are all delightful memories of your trip.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Glad you joined my trip
Deletegood decision not to go on the cold muddy walk Polly because the wc of the Loch is charming.
ReplyDeleteSuch a peaceful, serene scene and beautifully captured
Thanks Lorraine. Lovely memory picture for me.
DeleteI love the painting of the Loch...so funny to hear about you having a strop.... better not behave like that in Anglesey!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a bad phobia of snakes and at the beginning of the walk there was a picture of a snake. I didn't want to have another panic attic. No strops in Anglesey I promise.
DeleteYay! You found time to do some sketching. These are great. I especially like the one of the Loch!
ReplyDeleteI do try to find some time each day, not always possible. Was lucky to have that special time just for me
DeleteLove these sketches!
ReplyDeleteThanks Celeste. Was fun.
DeleteThe last painting of the Loch is impressive , you got the peacefulness and a gorgeous light , really beautiful , you just wish you were there !
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful spot Jane. Thank you for commenting
DeleteSounds like a lot of fun Polly with fabulous results. I love your little monkey painting by the way. Loose, lively and colourful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ross, and for taking the time to comment. The monkey is a self portrait!
DeleteNice sketches give you a way to take us all with you. The painting of the loch is very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Blaga. Have a lovely week
DeleteHi, Polly, what nice sketches! I love your puff, puff, chug, chug, chug. Like the I-think-I-can-locomotion, I'm sure you'll climb up a mountain called art!! Cheers, wink, wink, Sadami
ReplyDeleteYou are lovely Sadami. I am carrying on up that mountain - got a long way to go. :)
DeletePolly - these are truly lovely sketches of Scotland. I have never been there but hope to do so someday. Your art portrays just the way I would have pictured - the last one of the Loch is so fabulous. Have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing your trip with me.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for comenting Debbie. It really is spectacular, but we had one experience of those midges, if you go plan when they are not at their height.
DeleteHi Polly! All these waterpaintings look like great reminders of your trip. The bottom one specially attracts my eye. It's a beautiful scene, grandiose and a little sad, all at the same time. And I love your autoportrait at the top...ha ha!
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen. The painting of the chimp was a self portrait!!!
Deleteyour comment on the fishing boat made me laugh polly great quick sketch! ... really beautiful atmospheric plein air sketch of the loch ..glad you found some time just for yourself to sketch .
ReplyDeleteI found you from Debby Nolan the love she has for her garden & her art inspires me. I know I'm going to like following your blog. What fabulous scenes you have painted from your trip to Scotland somewhere I never visited in all the time I lived in England, I think it was the awful weather, it always seemed to be raining. I've just scrolled down and seen you were in Port Sunlight at the Lady Lever art gallery. I grew up so very near to there and had my first job working in the offices at what was then called 'Lever Brothers' I found you from Debby Nolan the love she has for her garden & her art inspires me. I've been living in France for almost 24 yrs now. So you are definitely a must to follow I'll use the email subscription.
