Title: Tranquil Highlands, 'Wester Ross' Loch Torridon Scotland, Original Frame, Signed c. 1980 Description: Tranquil Highlands, Scotland, Original Frame, Signed by Prudence Turner (British 1930-2007) signed, lower left hand corner & titled verso oil painting on canvas, framed Framed size: 29.5 x 41.5 inches Fine quality antique oil painting by the much admired and celebrated British artist Prudence Turner (1930-2007). Prudence Turner was born on the 15th March 1930 in India and lived in London. She developed a gift for painting at a very early age, her first recognition being at the age of four when she competed in a national competition against an eleven to fourteen age group. Although mainly self-taught she lived and studied in many countries, including Egypt, India, and France. Her talent covers a wide field, including portraits, abstract, and landscape, both factual and fantasy. This particular painting captures this idyllic sunset view of the famous and beautiful mountains in Scotland. The title on the back 'Wester Ross Loch Torridon' references an exact hidden spot - Wester Ross is synonym for remote, lonely, beautiful and wild. ItÂ’s an area of outstanding natural beauty situated between Loch Carron in the south, Loch Broom and Ullapool in the north and Achnasheen in the east. Wester Ross is unspoilt and there are areas where visitors are seldom seen such as the Letterewe Estate north of Loch Maree. Well known and beautiful lochs are loch Torridon, with Liathach in the heart of the huge Torridon mountain range, loch Maree with the Slioch and Beinn Eighe mountain ranges and dozens of other remote lochs in just as many beautiful glens. Wester Ross is also one of the few parts of Scotland which still has (remains of) the old Caledonian forest. A serene painting that would sit wonderfully within a country or town house, perhaps in a hallway flanked by elegant up lights to frame this beautiful oil painting.
