Embrace the serene simplicity of St Monans Harbour through this exquisite minimalist print that captures the essence of coastal tranquillity. With a calm and considered use of colour, the artwork showcases the soothing tones of sea greens and sky blues contrasting with the gentle whites and greys of the harbourside buildings which are portrayed with an almost geometric clarity. The composition places a singular boat, its hull painted with hints of vibrant red and blue, floating tranquilly in the harbour waters, whose reflection merges seamlessly with the sky in a symphony of colour. The juxtaposition of the bold, clean lines of the architecture against the soft, mirror-like quality of the water evokes a sense of stillness and reflection.

Captured in the luminous and expressive strokes typical of Impressionist art, this vibrant print evokes the breathtaking beauty of Glen Doll, Angus during the height of summer. The canvas is alive with the dance of natural light and colour, showcasing the rich tapestry of the Scottish landscape in a celebration of form and hue. The eye is drawn along a meandering stream, its surface a mirror to the azure sky above, playfully reflecting puffy clouds like cotton tufts adrift in the vastness. Flanking the waters are banks festooned with a profusion of wildflowers; their pink and lavender shades a swathe of colour that competes with the verdant greens of the grasses and the full-bodied leaves of occasional trees. The rolling hills and mountains recede into the distance, cascading layers of blue and purple that suggest a depth and grandeur typical of the Scottish Highlands. The contrast of light and shadow gives the distant land a softened appearance, inviting viewers to contemplate the expansive horizons and the quiet solitude of nature's untouched splendour. The composition is one of harmony, where every brushstroke conveys the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the breeze, encapsulating the distinct sensations of a Scottish summer day.

I was driving with my dad along a county road in northern Wisconsin a few weeks back and I noticed that many of the fields had just been cut and the hay had been bound into round bales which dotted the landscape. The late afternoon sun lit them up nicely. As my dad has gotten older, his mobility has decreased, but I’m thankful that he’s still sharp and I greatly enjoy taking drives with him through the countryside he knows so well.
