In an arresting display of abstract sophistication, the artwork melds emotive strokes with a vivid palette, conjuring the wild Scottish landscape as a tumultuous weather front converges upon it. The composition is brilliantly divided into layers that encapsulate land, sea, and sky.

Bathing in the breathtaking hues of a Scottish sunset, this exquisite print captures the serene essence of Scarista Beach at the tranquil moment of dusk.

In this alluring scene, the sky is ablaze with a symphony of warm colours – brilliant ambers, rich purples, and soft pinks – all streaking across the canvas to mimic the dynamic movement of the clouds. This stunning sky serves as a vivid backdrop for the gently descending sun, which hangs as a luminous orb near the horizon, tenderly kissing the day goodbye. Each brushstroke below reflects the soothing undulations of the rolling waves as they frolic and crash against the shore, further accentuated by the iridescent glow of the day's last light. The sea itself shimmers with life; cobalt blues and teal greens dance with the reflective silver of the water's surface, inviting viewers to imagine the refreshing coolness of the evening tide. The shore, speckled with rocks that are richly textured and tinted with dusky shades of lilac, anchors the viewer in the tangible ruggedness of the landscape. Patches of sunlight artfully skim across the sand, creating intricate patterns that lead the eye throughout the tranquil coastal tableau. Adding this evocative piece to any space will no doubt enrich it with an atmosphere of reflective calm, making it an impeccable choice for those seeking to infuse their environment with the spirited essence of Scotland's pristine beaches and the timeless allure of twilight by the sea.

The ship and the whale, glimpsed diving through the sunset, were absolutely vivid. She could see the shadows on the whale's dorsal side, and light glinting off the ship's sails. Soon, she would have to decide what it was — or, more to the point, what would manifest itself like this.

Sprinklings of pink clover-like blossoms, verdant grasses, and slender leaves create an organic tapestry of greenery, providing a rich contrast to the subtle hues of the shoreline. The scene is framed by meticulously detailed rocks, their geometric formations suggesting solidity and permanence amidst the gentle transience of the beach's natural beauty.

[Albert Pinkham Ryder - With Sloping Mast And Dipping Prow, c.1883, oil on canvas mounted on fiberboard 12 x 12 in (30.4 x 30.4cm), National Museum of American Art, Washington DC] Type the words “Follow your inner moonlight, don’t hide the madness” (with or without the quotation marks) into the Google search engine and you’ll come up with over (a good deal over) 90,000 results. Here’s the popular site goodreads, here’s a blog that proudly holds it as its title, here… but the phrase is a quite extraordinarily popular one, an internet meme, if you will, which, for some time, it has to be confessed, we here at the Allen Ginsberg Project found, well, more than a little troubling. Allen was always credited with the quote but did he actually say it? And when an assiduous search through his Collected Works turned up only half of it (the “don’t hide the madness” bit - from the poem, “On Burroughs’ Work” – “A naked lunch is natural to us,/we eat reality sandwiches/But allegories are so much lettuce./Don’t hide the madness.” ) we were, understandably, further entrenched in our skepticism, another of those classic well-meant-but-actually-inaccurate attributions? Stumbling upon remarks on an obscure internet bulletin board (thank you and credit where credit is due, “Ocelot”!), we came across this: “In 1989, Michael Schumacher wrote a book containing advice for young writers called, "On Being a Writer", where he asked advice from 31 famous authors. One of.. (those) interviewed for the book was Allen Ginsberg. The quote "Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness." was part of his (Allen’s) advice for aspiring writers, so the context is Ginsberg’s advice on self-expression.” We got in touch with Michael (Allen’s biographer) and got further clarification (the book is not actually Michael’s but, rather, an anthology, of interviews that first appeared in Writers Digest, edited by Bill Strickland. On page 47, from the reprint of Michael’s interview with Allen, we read, as follows: "It's more important to concentrate on what you want to say to yourself and your friends. Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness. Take [William Carlos] Williams: until he was 50 or 60, he was a local nut from Paterson, New Jersey, as far as the literary world was concerned. He went half a century without real recognition except among his friends and peers. "You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening. If you're grasping to get your own voice, you're making a strained attempt to talk, so it's a matter of just listening to yourself as you sound when you're talking about something that's intensely important to you." Follow your inner moonlight and here's a host more useful slogans
