F C B Cadell. Watercolour of Iona, looking towards Eilean Didil
|
 |
| Photo of Iona,Summer 2015.by the author. |
This watercolour which was at one time with the Portland gallery shows the rocky outcrop of Eilean Didil dominating the picture.I would expect it to be Cadell's larger 7"X10" size of paper.
My own photograph doesn't quite match Cadell's viewpoint. If I had gone further down the machair the match would have been better for the horizon in the photo would then have been different and not such a visual solecism as it is here.This comparison is not in Coupe. My review of Philip MacLeod Coupe's book on Cadell and Peploe on Iona is here and another article on Cadell and Peploe-specifically at the North End is here.
