Elgol

I have long been a fan of Blue Fin Art's artistic canvas's. A few hours to kill and a pile of bland images was the perfect recipe to give it a go.
I really like this look, abstract, simple but still unmistakably Elgol.

Taken on the Isle of Skye just after sunset.

blue fin art - Settling in says:

Hi there just spotted this and you have nailed it. Thanks for the mention too much appreciated.

Great colours and movement. The beauty about this is you can take a reasonably bland image and add colour by painting some in then blurring and you can't tell it wasn't already there. Or select one colour and smudge it across the image giving it more vibrancy.
