About MeLike fellow student, William McTaggart, MacWhirter was concerned with capturing atmosphere, rather than topographical detail. In this painting he has used broad free brushstrokes to capture the play of light and colour in a manner which can be likened to Turner. MacWhirter was a member of the Scott Lauder group.
