Train Landscape

Train Landscape by Eric Ravilious (Aberdeen Art Gallery)

Grey Granite has been reading Jackie Kay's autobiography, Red Dust Road and was struck by the phrase 'Our books define our lives'. Pondering this she adds the thought 'and so do our pictures'. As a student living in England she had a post card of this wonderfully evocative picture on her wall. Apart from the hedges and the fence it could so easily be Strichen White Horse, on Grey Granite's personal red dust road to Buchan.
