"Just Another Day at Turnberry"

6 x 6 oil on canvas panel
ok - so i had my grands today and of course they had to swim - so i set up outside and got out the scrapbook from our trip to ireland and scotland. it was in 1997 actually and we played 3 courses in ireland and maybe 5 or 6 in scotland...this view was a cloudy day - they have the most amazing skies over there and i think i captured it - it's always hard trying to reconstruct the scene from a photo you've taken -the view could be absolutely breathtaking and when you get the pictures developed (this was before digitals of course) -you wonder what you found so amazing - it never translates - this was late in the day - looking back from the 10th green - and you can see the famous ailsa craig on the right. that's where they get the granite for most of the curling balls they use over there......there's an old saying about ailsa craig.... "if you can't see ailsa graig..it's raining...if you can see it..it's going to rain"!....sorry tiger's out but really rooting for tom watson! - he's sort of our vintage...
