Description

We are pleased to offer for sale this lovely watercolour by the artist Prudence Turner, who has signed the painting in the lower right hand corner. The painting depicts a view of a Scottish loch, with mountains in the background, on a stormy day with heavy clouds in the sky. Unfortunately, on this occasion the artist has not given the location.

This is one of a pair of watercolours by this artist that we are currently listing.
