Capturing the serene beauty of Luskentyre Beach on the Isle of Harris, this expressive print is a vibrant homage to one of Scotland's most picturesque coastlines. The artwork vividly portrays the dynamic interplay of light and colour, as bold strokes and a vivid palette convey the wild, untamed energy of the Scottish landscape. Emphasising the expanse of the azure sky, the artwork presents sweeping clouds in a spectrum of whites, blues, and subtle hints of warmth, suggesting the fleeting moments of sunlight piercing through. Below, the eye is drawn to the captivating hues of the turquoise sea, a stark contrast to the gentle, ivory sands of the shore that spread out towards the horizon. In this landscape, colour takes precedence over form, with the artist employing abstracted patches of pink, orange, and deep blue to reflect the natural beauty of the beach's reflections and wet sands. Flecks of white break through these tones, suggesting the sea's foam and the glint of light across the water's surface. The distant hills are rendered in soft purples and muted greens, providing a sense of depth and the wild, untouched nature of the Hebrides. The human element is minimal yet poignant: lone figures are barely discernible, accentuating the vastness of the beach and the intimate connection between nature and those who traverse it. One figure stands as a solitary sentinel amidst the grandeur, while another explores the shoreline, their presence a subtle reminder of our place within the natural world. This captivating print from our 'Scottish Beaches' collection eloquently conveys the raw, emotional essence of the Scottish coastline, promising to bring the spirit of Luskentyre Beach into any space it adorns.

Captured within this evocative piece is the serene beauty of a dawn mist rolling over a river in Glencoe. The artwork is a symphony of moody blues and greys, juxtaposed with the warmth of subtle amber and coral hues reflecting off the water's surface. The expressive brushstrokes convey the raw energy of the Scottish landscape, while the soft diffusion of light suggests the early morning calm. The viewer is presented with a sweeping vista of towering mountains shrouded in the gentle embrace of mist. These majestic forms taper down to the riverbanks, where the land is etched with hints of vegetation and rocks, alluded to by confident, sweeping gestures of the palette knife. In the foreground, the river itself becomes the centrepiece, with the glassy waters mirroring the awakening sky. Strokes of white and pale blue catch the eye, suggesting a crisp chill in the air as the day begins to break. The reflections are rendered with a dynamic mix of precision and abstraction, inviting the viewer to feel the movement of the water and the tranquility of the scene. The horizon is crowned with early light, where the pale sun begins to assert its presence, casting a dreamlike glow across the landscape. The interplay of light and shadow, coupled with the depth of the composition, draws the observer into a moment of contemplation and wonder. This piece interprets the Scottish Highlands' natural splendour through the lens of Expressionism, showcasing the emotional power of colour and form. It is a testament to the timeless allure of Glencoe, capturing an ephemeral moment of natural beauty that invites continued reflection and admiration.

The design starts with a “horticultural riot” out the front, countered with a restful side passageway. The internal courtyard is a space for reflection, accompanied by a more contemporary back garden. Designed by Fieldwork.
