SUNRISE AT ABRIACHAN

Acrylic on Paper
Gael Hillyard 2021

This painting is based on a sketch from a mid winter walk in Abriachan around 2014. The colours were inspired by a photograph of the early morning sky taken from my daughter’s nursery that overlooked Loch Ness.

Abriachan that morning was unusually busy given the cold weather. And the dawn that inspired me really did turn the sky a mesmerisingly fiery pink and yellow as the sun rose above the hills beyond the Loch.
