On our second day on the magical island of Skye, we explore the epic landscape of 'The Quiraing' - the result of millions of years of turmoil & upheaval.

I decided to challenge myself a bit by choosing a different subject matter for my painting. The highlands are full of cute little cottages called crofts, which can be hundreds of years old, so I thought I would paint one as a reminder of our trip to Skye.
