Smellie was not exclusively loyal to the west coast. He also worked inland at Comrie (on the River Earn) and Callander (on the Teith). This example is a delightful and sun-dappled snapshot of the smart Perthshire town. The wedge of the roadway is again an effective device to lead the eye into the composition and create an illusion of depth. Here we see the same dog depicted, but this time the young girl may have been the artist's niece.
