September morning painting with friends. The former Roslin Curling Pond is natural-unnatural oasis near a busy roundabout!
I found the title from Hole Ouisa’s film about the pond: a quote from Vladimir Nabokov:
“I could also distinguish the glint of a special puddle ... an oblong puddle invariably acquiring the same form after every shower because of the constant spatulate shape of a depression in the ground. Possibly something of the kind may be said to occur in regard to the imprint we leave in the intimate texture of space.”
