Captured at the enchanting hour when daylight gives way to dusk, this expressive piece brings to life the spectacular visage of Balmedie Beach in a swirl of vibrant hues. The canvas becomes a dynamic symphony of colour, with bold strokes of reds, pinks, and oranges reflecting the setting sun’s farewell kiss on the wet sands and gentle waves. The sky, a canvas within a canvas, is awash with pastel blues, pinks and hints of yellow, orchestrating a serene backdrop to the sun’s glowing orb hovering above the horizon.
A sense of motion pervades the scene as the brush strokes mimic the rhythmic dance of the sea and the whispering winds, lending a palpable energy that is both invigorating and tranquil. The beach itself is a fusion of shadow and light, where cool blues and purples contrast the warmth of the sunlit sand and water, hinting at the coolness of the oncoming evening.
This print, a homage to the raw beauty of Scottish shores, offers a contemporary take on Expressionism, inviting the viewer to a sensory experience that transcends the mere visual. It is a timeless narrative of nature's fleeting moments, captured in the impasto layers and the vivid, emotive palette synonymous with expressive art. Every glance promises a new discovery, making it an ideal centerpiece to provoke conversation and admiration in any room.
