Many years ago when I lived in Livingston I took a walk up Union Canal at Linlithgow looking for good waterside views to paint. I came across a lovely bridge, cottages and the barge Victoria which took visitors up the canal to explore the landscape. I took plenty photos then back in the studio set about painting a series of views from both sides of the bridge. Although my photos were taken in summer I still enjoy creating a snow scene winter landscape painting with pure imagination.
