Painting on @skyartsartistoftheyear was a fantastic experience this year in Inveraray! Although the rain was testing, it made for an atmospheric and beautiful scene to paint. #skyarts #landscapepainting #pleinair #oilpainting #scotland #rain #outdoors #loch #art #artist #fineart #paintfromlife #paintanyway #scottishartist (at Inveraray) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpm9dhdAfNv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h10kjw8aq5bw
