Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Celebrating World Mental Health Day. Something that often lifts the spirits is to get out in nature and go for a walk, be by water or amongst trees and let nature work its magic to soothe our souls. If you can't do that today, just looking at this painting is deeply relaxing.

William Young (1845-1916) - Loch Eck, Scotland. 

This breath taking Scottish Victorian landscape oil painting is by much exhibited landscape artist William Young RSW. Entitled Loch Eck and painted circa 1908, this particular location was a favourite of Young's and he has perfectly captured its majesty. He exhibited several paintings under the title Loch Eck and this may well have been one of them. In the foreground is a sandy shore with boulders and fir trees to the right. Loch Eck then stretches out before us with mountains bordering it on the right and beyond and lower land and trees to the left. The masterpiece of the painting is the wonderful reflections of the mountains in the tranquil waters of the loch and the varied shades of green - just breath taking. This is a painting one would never get tired of admiring and is an excellent example of Young's work.  
Loch Eck is a freshwater loch located on the Cowal peninsula, north of Dunoon, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is seven miles (11 kilometres) long. Along with Loch Lomond, it is the only naturally occurring habitat of the Powan fish.
