# A beach on the Isle of Skye
I found this old painting I did in the summer of 2005. It's acrylic on canvas and was painted on location in about three hours.
It's A2 in size. I just thought I'd share an old painting before I lose it again.

# s'very nice
I especially like how you've made it look like Scotland is more colourful than its native tones of sludge and grey

# It was a little miracle.
It had been raining and grey for much of the week. I was at the beach and hills nearby scouting around for birds to take photographs of when all of a sudden it becomes a beautiful warm and glorious day.

I ran for about ten minutes in a fit of muscle-tearing craziness to grab my paints from the van and splurged that one out perched on a rock in the middle of a river. Unfortunately, the rest of my paintings show lots of grey sky and storms. One of my watercolours ran out when it started raining as I was painting and a canvas that I had spent hours preparing blew out of my hands and 500 metres of the edge of a cliff and into the sea..

Also, the Isle of Skye is awful for midges. They're fucking everywhere in the evenings and in clouds so thick that you can't breathe.

all it needs is some form of spanning construction, a rotary aeronautical machine and a member of the superorder Selachimorpha.
