Description
A watercolour of a lovely beauty spot in Stirling Scotland, near Aberfoyle, of the beautiful loch Ard, near the narrowing of the loch in the glens and woodlands of The Trossachs, with a view of Loch a'Ghleannain on the higher landscape...through the trees of Loch Ard Forest, a lovely spectacle. The tree in the foreground looks like a female form or wood nymph with outstretched arms and a long skirt, this was naturally formed in nature, one of the reasons I painted this particular scene. The trees are in their winter foliage and snow is on the peaks of the hills of the Craig of Monievreckie in the distance; this scene can be used as a winter holiday greeting as it's only in smaller sizes and greeting cards. I have now placed this painting in my festive Season and New Year collections in addition to the other collections it's placed in, due to its popularity as a Christmas and New Year greeting card
