About MeNorman Adams first visit to the Outer Hebrides was in 1963 - describing it as "the most beautiful place I've ever seen". In 1969, he bought a small house on the island of Scarp which he visited often over the next ten years.

His watercolours are often annotated with date or time of day and in this respect recall the cloud studies made by Turner, but Adams aligns this tradition with a modernist approach.
