Storm over Orsay Lighthouse

Orsay Lighthouse at the southern tip of the Isle of Islay is a windswept and beautiful place, the light and the skies are incredible

Oil painting on Gesso board

Colin takes the presentation of his work very seriously!   The entire picture is created from scratch.
He lovingly prepares each gesso board to conservation standards, and uses hand-made oil paints from a specialist supplier.  He also builds each individual frame specifically to complement the painting, and finishes the frame with special wax varnish which he mixes himself.  Some of the frames will have gold leaf applied to further enhance the effect.

Painting size = 330 x 490 mm

On exhibition at Resipole Studios
