As the daylight wanes into the sublime embrace of golden hour, this exquisite print captures the serene ambience of Cromarty Harbour. This abstract impressionist piece deftly evokes the changing skies and still waters, offering a vivid spectacle of colour and motion that brings the Scottish coastline to life.
The artwork is a maelstrom of azure blues and deep oranges, with the setting sun casting a dazzling reflection across the calm water. Dynamic knife strokes and layered textures combine to form the silhouettes of moored boats; their masts reach towards the sky as if in silent ode to the day's end. Brushstrokes flirt across the canvas in an orchestrated chaos, suggesting the gentle lapping of waves against the hulls.
Contemplative and bold, the print suggests the tranquil moments of evening when time seems to stand still, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the chromatic splendour. Elements of the piece play with the contrast between light and shadow, while hints of white capture the sparkle of the sun dancing on the water's surface.
For lovers of the sea, those captivated by the dance of light, or connoisseurs of Scottish landscapes, this print is a beguiling addition to any collection, celebrating the ephemeral beauty of a harbour at rest under the caress of fading light.
