Artist, Scottish, 1883 - 1959

The image shows a view from a slightly elevated position looking out over a body of water towards a town or cityscape in the distance, with boats nearby. The horizon is in the middle of the image with the silhouette of a town and a tower or spire. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting an impressionistic feel. The color palette is subdued with cool tones of blue and grey, along with earthy shades. There are wispy clouds in the sky. The texture suggests a mix of watercolor and possibly pencil or ink for defined lines.
