Going Home

This picture is part of the inspiration for my piece. It hangs in our “good room”: so called because when our children were young we had 2 rooms, a living room and a “good room”.  As the names suggest we lived in the living room but when the children were in the good room they had to be really really good J. Anyway back to the picture – it is a print by a local artist, Charles Kelly,  and is coincidentally called “Coming Home“. I love the picture because I see it as the A77 - my road home. When I come down this road, whether I have been away for a few hours or for a few weeks I love my first glimpse of the sea and this picture mimics that view. To me there are two sides to Ayrshire – farming and the sea. I like the way this picture shows both aspects and I am going to use it as my basic layout. There are other elements I would like to include but they will come into at the design stage.  I am also considering including the road in my picture but that too will be decided later.
