Capture the essence of Scottish coastal beauty with this exquisite piece, which draws its inspiration from the serene shores of Traigh Mhor at the magical hour of dusk. As the sun dips low on the horizon, the sky transforms into a canvas of mesmerising hues, with splashes of crimson, amber and gold mingling with shades of lilac and soft blue. Beneath this heavenscape, the tranquil sea whispers tales of the day's end, its surface reflecting the sunset's myriad of colours. In the foreground, the visual journey commences with swaths of gentle blue and violet that caress the water-worn pebbles scattered across the sand, encapsulating the cool, twilight serenity. The eye is then drawn across the intricate network of wet sand and pooling tide, where harmonious swirls mimic the fluid dance of the sea's retreating waves. The bold, expressive strokes characteristic of modern impressionism instill a vibrant dynamism into the composition, creating a startlingly vivid yet dreamlike vista. The painting’s portrayal of distant islets offers a poignant counterbalance to the dynamic skies, exuding steadfast calm amidst the visual symphony of the landscape. This piece captures the sweeping grace of Scotland's coastal vistas, inviting the viewer to revel in a moment of tranquil respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Add a touch of Scottish cove enchantment to your living space, and let your imagination drift with the tides of Traigh Mhor.

No wonder volcanoes, like sea-monsters, are the stuff of legends. The curators at the Bodleian have brought out its treasures and raided the archives of Oxford colleges for Volcanoes: Encounters through the Ages.
