Let twilight envelop your senses with this breathtaking depiction of Ardanaiseig Bay, where the Scottish evening sky blushes with hues of pink, orange, and lilac. This modern interpretation captures the serene atmosphere of the location at dusk, with the day's last light reflecting off the tranquil waters and bouncing between the sky and sea in a harmonious dance of colour. The artwork exquisitely portrays the intricate textures and patterns of the shoreline, where the gentle ebb and flow of the tide carves out delicate lines in the sand and amongst the rocks. The shoreline is adorned with a beautiful gradient of tones, from warm golds and soft umbers to cool blues and muted purples, each skillfully blended to evoke the magical transition between day and night. In the background, the silhouetted peaks stand as silent guardians of the cove, their presence adding a sense of enduring permanence to the fleeting spectacle of the sunset. The interplay of light and shadow creates a dramatic yet soothing landscape, inviting viewers to take a moment and lose themselves in the serenity of the Scottish coves. This print is a perfect centrepiece for lovers of contemporary art and the untamed beauty of Scotland's natural wonder. It manages to be both vibrant and calm, bold yet understated, making it versatile enough to complement a variety of interior spaces. Add an essence of the sublime Scottish countryside to your collection, and let the peacefulness of Ardanaiseig Bay at dusk wash over you, time and time again.

I would like to dedicate this image to John J Maclennan. Explore#116 I was fortunate together with members of my family to join John on his boat sailing around the west coast of Harris in July. I knew that the day had the potential to be truly wonderful,such is the grandeur of these islands, however I am acutely aware how the weather is a contributing factor particularly where light is concerned. There is no doubt that the trip was greatly enhanced by John's spirit and good cheer, his knowledge of his territory and his competence and skill of handling his boat which made one feel at ease. As for the unconditional hospitality what can one say.......... after tramping two hours over a remote island we were able to descend between cliffs to the most beautiful beach that my eyes have ever encountered. John displayed patience in remaining out at sea during this time, then came to collect us by dinghy. Back on board I doubt if I will ever sit at a table surrounded by a scene so majestic, so exquisite, so perfect, so serene as that day. Sheltered from the Atlantic swell, the shallow sea produces the most amazing transparency, the pristine white sand backed by high craggy cliffs is a dream come true. David a member of John's family cooked us some venison burgers that was served with all the accompaniments which was washed down nicely with a glass, in some cases two of French red wine. We had further treats of wild salmon and crab which John bashed then extracted the meat from the claws. All the produce that we eat came from the land or sea that we were part of. After 10 hours it was with reluctance that our day came to an end. Summing up our day if you were to ask me if I could imagine heaven being prettier...... probably not. Thanks John for a phenomenal day !!
Bathed in the tranquil hues of dusk, our exclusive print captures the serene essence of Achmelvich Bay, a gem tucked away in the Scottish Highlands. The Impressionist-inspired strokes dance across the canvas, rendering a delicate interplay of light and colour that is both soothing and mesmerising. As the sun dips beneath the horizon, the sky blooms with a gentle array of peach, lavender, and cream, melding into the calm azure of the emerging night. Wisps of clouds meander across the sky, reflecting the fading warmth of daylight in their soft, orange-tinted edges. Below lies the still and reflective waters of the bay, mirroring the splendid ballet of twilight tones and the subtle brilliance of the rising moon. Its pallid glow casts a silvery path upon the waters, leading the eye to the shore, where the tide gently laps at the pebbled beach. Nestled alongside the shore, a row of modest cottages with slanted roofs stands in harmonious existence with the surrounding landscape. Their whitewashed walls and dark roofing gain an ethereal quality in the dusky light, while their windows hint at the cosy respite from the encroaching chill of the evening. On the horizon, the silhouettes of distant mountains stand as silent sentinels, their outlines softened against the sky's diminishing light. The soothing composition of land, sea, and sky in this print invites contemplation and calm, offering a timeless glimpse into the serene beauty of Scotland's coastal respite. Infused with nuances of a captured moment, this piece promises to bring the enchanting atmosphere of Scotland's coves into your space, awakening the senses and stirring the soul with its evocative allure.

"Full of yearning, ponderances about art and what it means to be an artist, and self-revelation, A Scatter of Light has a simmering intensity that makes it hard to put down."--NPR An Instant New York Times Bestseller Last Night at the Telegraph Club author Malinda Lo returns to the Bay Area with another masterful queer coming-of-age story, this time set against the backdrop of the first major Supreme Court decisions legalizing gay marriage. Aria Tang West was looking forward to a summer on Martha's Vineyard with her best friends--one last round of sand and sun before college. But after a graduation party goes wrong, Aria's parents exile her to California to stay with her grandmother, artist Joan West. Aria expects boredom, but what she finds is Steph Nichols, her grandmother's gardener. Soon, Aria is second-guessing who she is and what she wants to be, and a summer that once seemed lost becomes unforgettable--for Aria, her family, and the working-class queer community Steph introduces her to. It's the kind of summer that changes a life forever. And almost sixty years after the end of Last Night at the Telegraph Club, A Scatter of Light also offers a glimpse into Lily and Kath's lives since 1955.

Immerse yourself in the geometric abstraction of our Cubist-inspired print, a captivating reimagination of Achmelvich Bay's natural beauty. With a coordinated palette mirroring the region's unique vibrancy, this piece breaks traditional perspective to offer a fragmented view that encourages the eye to dance across its canvas. Bold shapes and angular lines carve out the serene topography of Sutherland’s coast, while the interplay of light and shadow captures the shifting moods of Scotland's shores. Hues of azure and pale turquoise mirror the pristine waters, punctuated by swathes of creamy white and sandy yellows representing the bay's untouched sands. The dynamic composition lends itself to a sense of movement, evoking the rolling hills and the rhythmic ebb and flow of the tide. Underneath, darker tones and deep blues offer a stark contrast that captures the depth and mystery of the Scottish seas. Rocks and landforms are dissected into planes and facets, contributing to a symphony of forms that could be at once both a map of emotional resonance and a literal depiction of this coastal haven. Suitable for anyone with an appreciation for modernist techniques and the untamed Scottish landscape, this print invites contemplation and admiration. Whether displayed in a tranquil retreat or a lively living space, it is sure to provoke conversation and enchant viewers with its abstract beauty. Embrace the allure of one of Scotland’s hidden gems through this Cubist lens, and let it transform your surroundings with its imaginative vision.
