Oil painting of a rushing rocky stream in dark Highland heather, with a shadowed mountain peak and pale evening sky with pink clouds.

Torrent in the Highlands

A rocky torrent rushes through a dark foreground of boulders and heather toward a steep, shadowed mountain under a pale evening sky. Soft pink clouds and distant ridges fade into misty greens and browns, rendered in oil with luminous glazes.

Español: Torrente en las Tierras Altas

Un torrente rocoso corre por un primer plano oscuro de peñascos y brezo hacia una montaña empinada y sombreada, bajo un cielo pálido de atardecer. Nubes rosadas y crestas lejanas se desvanecen en verdes y marrones brumosos, pintados al óleo con veladuras luminosas.

Português: Torrente nas Terras Altas

Um torrente rochoso corre por um primeiro plano escuro de pedras e urze em direção a uma montanha íngreme e sombreada, sob um céu pálido de entardecer. Nuvens rosadas e cristas distantes se dissolvem em verdes e marrons nebulosos, pintados a óleo com veladuras luminosas.
