Seascapes, Iona & Cadell...
At the Hunterian Art Gallery I was drawn to a painting of the sea - white sands, hills in the distance, calming and picturesque. On closer inspection, I realised why the view looked so familiar - I had been there! The Scottish Colourist, Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell (1883 - 1937) visited Iona each summer to paint.
