IONA NORTH END:JAMES HOLLAND

Iona North End: James Holland,2017

Well this is the first painting made after our trip to Iona this year. I thought it was time for me to try a homage to all those excellent painters who have worked  there. Cadell is certainly my favourite but Peploe often surprises me.
 On the left is Cathedral Rock, in the distance is Lunga and on the right is what Coupe calls the Little Pinnacle. The rocks are quite strange here and the dark ones with flattish tops should maybe have names also. This painting is based on a drawing. I have drawings for another two compositions at least.
