Original artwork description:

A small study of a Scottish thatched Hebridean style croft house with a hay stack and chickens beside the red doored cottage with a washing line and a red odd sock blowing in the wind under a dramatic dark colourfull sky, and sun shining on the machair or grassland.
Although this a fictional image it is based on the small whitewashed stone croft house of the west coast Scottish highlands and islands, often described as black houses, which are traditional thatched in reeds or Marram grass, and stones attached to ropes or nets to keep the thatch down, with rounded cornered walls and small windows.
Painted with a dramatic dark sky using a unique textural technique that allows the underlying colours of gold and red to show through the texture.

Painted using quality artists acrylics on a small square format 8" x 8" (20 x 20cm) canvas, with a gloss varnish finish and white wooden frame with cord ready to hang.
