Private collection, Netherlands.

Less sun-soaked than other examples of his Iona views, the present work instead focusses on the island's verdant green landscape and more subtle blue-greys that the Sound of Iona could take on when the weather was less predictable. The cloudy conditions can be seen in the sky, but also in the dappling of light on the Mull hills - a few bright sparks of green to the left indicating bursts of sunlight through the clouds.
