Barra, c.1903Oil on panel, 16.5 x 24.2 cmsThe location of this panel is again the Atlantic side of the island butlooking north across the bay at Craigston toward the promontorywhich features Barra’s rather primitive nine hole golf course, themost westerly in the British Isles. Technically the creamy oil paint(spotted with sand) is the same quality as will be seen in NorthernFrance over the proceeding years and the palette is naturalisticand very true to place and weather.16
