This exquisite print captures the vibrant essence of a Highland summer in Glen Garry through a lush palette and emotive brushstrokes characteristic of Impressionism. The scene is awash with the golden hue of sun-bathed meadows, which stretch out towards rolling hills that rise and fall under a broad sky. A meandering river cuts through the landscape, its cool blues and whites providing a refreshing contrast to the warmth of the yellow fields.
Wildflowers dot the riverbank, bringing pops of pink, red, and white that seem to dance in the gentle breeze. Their delicate forms are rendered with a sense of movement and life, contributing to the overall feeling of a breezy summer's day. Overhead, the sky is an expanse of soft blues and whites, with streaks of yellow light hinting at the sun's presence out of view.
The composition leads the viewer’s eye along the sinuous path of the river, inviting one to follow its flow deeper into the heart of the Highlands. The distant hills, layered in varying shades of green, grey and purple under the shifting light, convey a sense of the vast, open space that is synonymous with Scotland's natural beauty.
In the sky, a pair of birds soar gracefully, their silhouetted forms adding a sense of freedom and the wild spirit inherent to this enchanting region. The scene, alive with colour and energy, exudes the tranquillity and majesty of the Scottish Highlands in full summer bloom, making it an elegant and serene addition to the ‘Scotland in Summer’ collection.
