This striking print captures the raw, untamed beauty of Luskentyre Beach on the Isle of Harris with a vibrant expressionistic flair. Rich, impasto strokes of azure and cerulean depict the sweeping skies, while softer, underlying washes of colour suggest the gentle passage of clouds. Below, the expansive beach is rendered with a palette knife's urgency, its white sands shimmering amidst streaks of sage, amber and cool ivory tones.
The horizon is anchored by the brooding silhouettes of distant hills, their undulating forms cloaked in shades of slate and indigo, a dramatic backdrop to the serene coastal tableau. Foreground details are boldly abstracted; splashes of orange, red, and black evoke the beach's natural elements, their haphazard arrangement injecting a sense of dynamic movement as if the wind itself had been captured on the canvas.
The expressionist technique enlivens the waters with an array of blues ranging from the deepest navy to the most delicate turquoise, each brushstroke contributing to the lively play of light that dances across the shifting tides. With its spirited execution and evocative use of colour, this print not only pays homage to the Scottish landscape but also invites the viewer into a stirring visual narrative that is as timeless as the beach itself.
