Monuments & Romantic Ruins of Falkland in Fife, Scotland + Painting Pine Cones
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 січ 2022
- Welcome back! This week, we are searching for inspiration in Falkland - hiking up to the Bruce Tyndall Monument & discovering the romanic ruin of the Temple of Decision.
Listen to the birdsong and enjoy stunning views of the Fife countryside.
We look for things to photograph along the way, that I can take home and paint - watch as the watercolour painting comes together at the end of the video.

Jack is so cute and happy, real water dog no matter the temperature, fun to watch!
To see a whole world in a grain of sand, nice.
Thanks Bryce!
I’d love to have Jack’s energy for about a week. I need to start deep cleaning my home.
Great walks to be had through forest and scrub, and little treasures to capture on film. Lovely choice of subject…wonderful depth and colour!
I love seeing the quaint small villages and houses while you drive to your locations.
Thanks Sherry! Lots of beautiful little villages in Scotland so I’m sure there will be more to come 😊 Sarah
Little Jack Spaniel has the waggiest tail I’ve ever seen! He is so happy! I love it. Beautiful painting and a lovely walk!
He really does! We often wonder what a pedometer would read if we attached it to his tail 😂 But we would never do that to him! I’m so glad you liked the video 😊 Sarah x
Thank you for sharing the beauty of Scotland with us! You and Willie are so talented and Jack is such a delight to watch. We look forward to your next adventure. 🐕🦺
Thank you Bobbi! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
A lovely walk! One of the drone views of the monument with you and Jack as tiny figures off to the side would make a really cool painting. ❤️
I love to watch your paintings come to life as you add layers of texture and shading.
I’m laid up right now with foot and ankles surgery so your walk was so wonderful. Thanks
Hi Jackie! I hope you are managing to rest up and the healing is quick after your surgery. It’s a frustrating time - I was off my feet for 6 weeks after mine and I ended up turning to painting to relieve the boredom! Thanks for watching 😊 Sarah x
Delightful walk! Jack is a great companion-- he is so smart and expressive isn't he? Your art work is amazing-- like it very much.
Thank you!! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Jack is very expressive - especially when he wants something that you have…Sarah x
Absolutely amazing walk Sarah ,Jack is such a photogenic pup he's so handsome , I wish I had just a quarter of his energy lol 😂 he only stops running when you put him on the lead. Love your art section at the end you are really talented. Thank you for a wonderful and inspirational video, love to you willie and Jack .
Thanks Linda! We think Jack is the best dog (not biased at all..) - all the energy when we are out walking and constant enthusiasm and happiness 😊 Glad you liked the video! Sarah x
Your painting skill are incredible thanks for the walk
Thank you Teresa! That so kind of you to say 😊 Sarah x

Thanks Dawn! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Amazing scenery!! And the pinecone painting is beautiful!
Thank you!!
Again such beautiful watercolor work. I am again showing my husband your work in hopes he will watch your videos and learn more about shading in watercolors! Thank you from us in Georgia, USA.
Found this lovely scenery, historical facts, walk and painting to be so relaxing, therapeutic and educational. You have a great voice and Jack is the BEST! ❤🐺🇺🇸 You are my kind of person having some ☕🍰 after your hike! Loved this part two.
Amazing walk and fabulous artwork! I am looking forward to many more. Please stay safe and be careful! ❤️
Thank you Mary! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Just watched both videos. The scenery is gorgeous, Jack is adorable and your artwork is truly beautiful! Enjoyed Willie's music as well! Looking forward to more videos!
Thanks Judy! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Hello from Ohio. Amazing art work. Great walk. You need to go back when the plants are in bloom. Many look like either Mountain Laurel or Rhododendrons. Good job Willie on the drone shots and the music. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!! Yes, will definitely have to go back in the different seasons - it completely changes the scenery 😊 Glad you liked the video! Sarah x
Beautiful! Makes me want to go out for a walk. What a beautiful place for a hike.
Thank you Alyene!! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Thank you. That was wonderful. See you next week.
Thanks Wendy! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
awesome
I love this video. You can almost feel the crispness of the air. You are so talented in your painting. And Jack is so active, he walks/runs 3 times as much as you. You must all have had a good rest after this trip.
Another wonderful walk Sarah and Jack spaniels . Your painting is amazing. 😊
Thank you Grace! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Have you ever seen fractals, Sarah? They are everywhere in nature and absolutely stunning. The pinecone follows the golden ratio. :)
Just beautiful, referring to the painting and the scenery. Your painting is incredible, looking like you just dropped the item on the page. My husband was born in Ayr and he had a tear in his eye for the memories. Well done. Let’s not forget the fab photographer and dronerrrr.
Pam
Thank you Pamela! I’m so glad you and your husband liked it - plenty more Scottish walks to come 😊 Sarah x
Thank you for the lovely walk and history lesson. Someday I would love to visit Scotland.
Thank you Andrea! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Hopefully you will get to visit Scotland before too long. Sarah x
Amazing video and art! Scotland is beautiful, it looks much like where I live, Oregon, USA. Can't wait to see more Sarah!
Thanks Janet! Oregon must be a lovely place to live if it looks like Scotland 😀I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
So relaxing watching!

Hi Sarah. Thank you for another beautiful walk this week. Watching really makes me feel like I am there taking in the colors of the forest, the and amazing views, the scents of nature and feeling the coolness of the air. Jack always makes me giggle as he is so expressive and full of energy. As you said, I really like how the cones lift off the page and it’s as though you could feel there texture. They go great with your squirrel 🐿 painting! Have a great week!
Thank you Amber! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Beautiful - the scenery, you and Jack plus great music. You are a very talented artist!

A great video to show off Falkland Estate.
Both the landmarks you featured, were built by local stonemason - my 3rd great-grand uncle, and namesake - George Page. He also built Falkland Parish Church, The Bruce Fountain, and other properties in the village.
Hi George - thank you for watching and commenting. That’s amazing! What a fantastic family connection to that area. You must be very proud when you see those buildings 😊 Sarah x
Thank you for sharing this information with us. :) Another viewer has asked further down the comments why the temple was named so. Any idea?
I really enjoyed your video. Your painting was beautiful! And I always enjoy watching Jack.
Thank you Penny! I’m resigned to the fact that Jack is going to be the real star here…😂 I’m so glad you liked the video 😊 Sarah x
Just amazing! Made my Sunday. Loved the music by Willie & the editing was brilliant. Pine cone picture was astounding. Thank you.
Thank you John! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
I know ur pain! I fractured my ankle in three places and had major tendon damage! You have your youth on your side and walking is so great for strength! I love the ruins because of their History! 💜💕❤️
Thanks Linda! I was very lucky to have a long, slow recovery (thanks to a certain period of time when we had to stay in the house a lot...), so I feel really good about my ankle now. Fingers crossed I don't get any more issues, as I love being able to get out and explore as much as I can!
Prachtige wandeling , mooie aquarellen.
Lieve groet RINI
Bedankt Rini!! Sarah x
It would be a superb wedding venue x
So much beauty and history. It makes me want to move too Scotland. Your paintings are so lovely!
Thank you Karen! Scotland would love to have you I’m sure 😀 I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
lovely! i was so happy you chose the pinecones! also, I’m completely in love with Jack 🥰
Thank you! I’m glad you liked my choice of subject matter. Sometimes it’s hard to decide what to paint! Jack is very lovable, so I don’t blame you 😊 Sarah x
Such a beautiful view. ❤
Fab video Sarah and Jack Spaniels! So relaxing, educational and utterly beautiful. Thank you and good luck with your new channel x
I'm loving your videos Sarah, beautiful views and places, and Jack is so well behaved, I couldn't help thinking my own wee Buster would have been barking at those cows thinking 'can I play with those huge dogs mum?' Lol
Your paintings are absolutely amazing, it feels like you could reach out and pick up those pinecones, it's amazing seeing them come to life. 😁💛
Like the lovely Scenery’s. It’s like we are walking right with you. The dog is a bonus🐕🦺
Thank you Maria! That’s what I hoped - to take you all on this walk with me 😊 I’m so glad you liked it! Sarah x
That was really beautiful, and so relaxing. Thanks!
Another amazing video, great work!! 🐶🌲🎨
Thank you Sheryl! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Another beautiful walk, I'm glad I am not the only one who is always stopping to photograph something along the way. The pine cones look so cute, you captured them very well in your painting. I've now added your Etsy to my favourites
Thank you Brett! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Yes, I am always stopping to photograph things I find along the way (it also means you can have a wee breather too!) Sarah x
What beautiful scenery there. Jack is too stinking cute. Hahaha. The pinecone are amazing. You are very talented.
Thanks Anna!! Jack is the cutest for sure 😊 Glad you enjoyed it! Sarah x
Hooray for another beautiful walk! Hello Sarah, Jack and Willie :) Sarah, you paint beautifully. With love from Wisconsin
Thank you Sarah and Jack. I love the walks with you. Your artwork is absolutely pure.
Thank you! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
What a wonderful video. The area is just beautiful. I would love to take that walk myself some day. All the things you stop and look at or take pictures of are just what I would stop to notice, so it's a very pleasant experience. It's very cathartic. Thank you so much for taking us along. I loved every bit of it. :-D
Thank you so much! That’s just what I hoped it would be. I’m always stopping to take photos of things on my walks, so it just made sense to combine everything together! I’m so glad you liked the video😊 Sarah x
Great job miss. Thea loves watching Jack and I love the painting parts especially. You'll have to start doing master classes!
Ahh thank you my lovely! Hopefully Thea and Jack will meet someday 😊 I really appreciate your support 🥰 Sarah x
The scenery is so breathtaking. Enjoyed this video and really enjoyed watching Jack have such a wonderful time. He’s so adorable and happy! You are beautiful Sarah and your painting is amazing!❤️💕
I so enjoyed that Sarah! And you keep such good company!
Thank you Susan! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😊 Sarah x
Fallen trees with new ones growing out of them is common here in the Rain forests of the Pacific Northwest.
Those ruins really show the great Love she had for her husband.
When mature, those new plantings around the monument will be nice, but I wonder why the old growth was cut down .
Still Life is very challenging but you have captured the details so well.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Thanks Rik! I’m sure the new growth will be amazing - although I think they are quite slow growing. The estate is now part of a sustainable forestry operation, so the previous trees were probably cut down for that reason. Although, there are also a lot of trees which did not survive the big storm we had late last year 😢 Sarah x
@@shewalksshepaints Thanks for getting back to me
Rik
i just love watching you paint,so amazing
Thank you Tina!! Plenty more in the pipeline 😊 Sarah x
What a beautiful walk Sarah! Thank you for taking us! Have a lovely week you three!
Thank you Julianne!! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Such a Beautiful area! Stunning artwork!
January 26th here in Ohio, and it is zero degrees F.... with snow over my knees (24 inches). I would love your winter walk!
Ooh wow that sounds beautiful but difficult! We had very similar conditions this time last year - Jack had to jump through the snow in a wee coat!
The camera work is gorgeous, great piece.
Lovely I was riveted by your technique. I kept thinking how I would forget and smear it into oblivion. Beautiful!
Thank you Beth!
Beautiful picture of you and Jack Spaniels. You have so much talent in creating your paintings. You capture the light and shadows making your subjects so realistic that they jump of the page. Congratulations. 🐕🇺🇸
Thank you Guadalupe! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Thank you for your video! So much work goes into it and it goes by so quickly. Love Willie's music.
Thank you Sara! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Beautiful walk and painting.
Thank you Karen! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Beautiful coutry
Those cones look real enough to pick up. I love your dog. This was a beautiful walk and interesting History story. I love watching you make art. Wonderful. Thank you so much. We got up to snow again this morning.
Thank you Arvetta! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😊 Sarah x
You have a wonderful God given talent
Thank you Joyce!
A wonderful walk through the woods to a lovely monument. The scenery is beautiful. Your pinecone painting is so well done. Looks like you could pick the pinecones right off the paper.
I bet the rhododendrons are gorgeous in spring!
Hi Shari! Yes - I’m sure we will be back later in the year to see how the scenery changes 😊 Sarah x
Lovely walk! Thank you for taking us along! Enjoyed your painting the pine cones amazing how beautiful they are.
Thank you Angela! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Beautiful video Sarah lovely to see the Falkland estate looking so good Your art work is amazing when I 1st seen it I thought it was a photograph Great channel Kisses Alexandrea xx
Another winner, Sarah!! As someone commented last week, your videos will serve as a fabulous guide for great walks in Scotland! I love your painting too ☺️.
Thank you Fiona! I hope that is the case - I want to show everyone how amazing this country is 😊 I’m so glad you liked the video. Sarah x
Your shading is wonderful!!
Great video. Just a thought, perhaps Jack should have a channel. He really enjoys his time outdoors. Mount a camera to head, turn him loose.
Ha! He would probably out do us both! But I have a feeling that we would be doing most of the editing for him…we have tried “Jack-cam” on a few occasions, but he is so fast that it’s a bit like watching a rollercoaster 🤣
Beautiful video! a real pleasure to watch (our dog would rather drink puddles too) 😀 x
Thanks Amanda! I’m glad it’s not just our dog 🤦♀️ He even turns his nose up at his water bowl if it isn’t completely fresh, but muddy puddles are a delicacy apparently!
What a great idea for a relaxing video experience. You are an amazing artist!
Thank you Anne! I’m so glad you liked it. Plenty more relaxing walks to come 😊 Sarah x
Beautiful scenery, beautifully painted pinecones and great video all around. I wish my dog behaved as well as Jack😃
Oh so many things to say! I have determined that Jack is a Scottish Water Spaniel. Also, was thinking, I hope Sarah sells prints, and then at the end find out about the Etsy shop. Will get on that in a while. Hope you ship to Texas. Now, on to Willie’s channel. Thanks for the lovely walk.
The Falkland Estates reminds me of some trails where I live...you'd love the Pacific Northwest...Except we don't have any castles, but we do have some old rotting structures. Still cool. Lovely watercolor😊
Thanks Travis! You know what they say…one persons old rotting structure is another persons castle…🤨
I have just subscribed to your channel and love it. Learning about Scotland, seeing the nature out there. So peaceful and relaxing and of course enjoying the music. Nice seeing Jack with you as well. Your artwork is amazing. I am really enjoying your video.
Thank you so much Sally! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
This walk was absolutely delightful. Such beautiful country. Sarah, you are an amazing artist. They look like the pine cones are actually there.
Thank you Carol! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
That Jack is such a character. He loves his sticks and surely enjoys being out in the fresh clean air with you. Fantastic painting 🖌️🎨. 🐕🇺🇸
He does indeed!
What .... no BELTERS?. no crazy dance?? Ha. Thank you For a lovely video!
Haha! Maybe one day I’ll do a crazy dance on this channel…
You're an AH-MAZING artist 😊
Thank you Tammara! That means a lot to me 😊
Willie, such pretty guitar playing. :)
Thanks for sharing your painting process. I will enjoy your future walks and artwork. Your art is so realistic that it jumps up from the page.
Thank you Christie! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
SLOW DOWN IN THE VILLAGE!! OMG that was gorgeous lol I had to stop and go on the video to see it... UTTERLY AMAZING village!!! BUT the rest of the time it is just as gorgeous also!!!! hahaha I LOVE walking on crispy ice too!!!
You artwork is exceptional, I hope people realize that it takes so much time and talent to create such beauty, it is utterly amazing how you transformed those eggs, just breathtaking.

Great video lol hard thinking it is only your 2nd one lol because it is so polished and wonderful!!! Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see more.... just slow down in the village hahaha
Thank you!! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 We will make sure to do some more slow-mo footage when we are next in a beautiful wee village (we have lots of them here!) Sarah x
Splendid! Enjoyed every minute. Thanks for sharing your and Jacks walk. The birds visiting the snack table was cute. Quite a refreshing outing except the odor of wet dog😉😂 Painting looked very real, lifelike…looking forward to the next walk already✌️
Thank you Greg!! I love that cafe for the birds that are always hanging around - clearly they like the cake too 😂 I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
OhmyGod, you're so good!
