Home - Ben Lomond viewed from Loch Lomond.

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's is Ben Lomond. Ben means "mountain" and Lomond probably comes from "laom" meaning blaze or beacon. Presumably a beacon was once lit on "mountain beacon" and I guess the loch was named after the mountain. Loch means lake.

I was born here here which is why I refer to it as home, it's also the clan lands of my ancestors.

Day 262 of 366 (it's a leap year).

Loch Lomond, Scotland

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today is my birthday, I'm 39.

I asked people yesterday what I should draw on my birthday and most said myself, in a way this is what I have done, if you extend the definition of myself to include the things that represent me.

The idea came from a text from my mum "Happy Birthday my Loch Lomond girl" this is where I was born and used to be the clan lands of my father's clan. Now it's a national park.
