Winter on the River Gryffe

Oil on Linen Panel

8" x 6"

This is a painting of the River Gryffe in Scotland. I visited our “homeland” of Houston, Scotland a couple of years ago, and we stayed at a B&B that was right off the River Gryffe. We were there in July so it wan’t quite this cold, but they had a photo of the river in winter on their Facebook page that I loved and had to paint.

This one is unique because I’ve been experimenting with using much more of a limited palette. There are only three colors in the whole things and it’s just white, transparent red oxide, and ultramarine blue. It’s crazy how much of a color range you can get from just a red and blue.
