Trees, cottages, paths, and patches of autumnal light are built up in broad, energetic pastel strokes, giving the scene a strong sense of immediacy. Rather than a tightly descriptive view, the composition feels observed quickly and directly, with the dark trunks and blue-grey roofs set against warm yellows, greens, and ochres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1084\" data-start=\"785\"\u003eMary Armour was an important Scottish painter and teacher, associated with Glasgow School of Art and elected to the RSA and RSW.
