Capturing the vibrant essence of summer in Sutherland, this enchanting print transports viewers to the serene shores of Durness Beach. With a masterful Impressionist touch, the artwork brims with kinetic brushstrokes that evoke the dynamic interplay of light and colour.

The foreground is dominated by the golden sands of the beach, dappled with warm, sunlit hues and cool, reflective shadows that suggest the presence of rock pools and the gentle ebb of the tide. The opalescent quality of the paint suggests the shimmer of water, mirroring the sky's azure with delicate touches of cobalt and turquoise.

Rising from the sands, rocky outcrops flank the composition on either side, their rugged forms rendered in an array of ochres, umbers, and sienna, interspersed with hints of verdant green, suggesting moss or hardy coastal vegetation. The stratified geology of the cliffs is suggested with gestural, confident strokes, lending the scene a sense of grandeur and enduring stability.

Above, the expanse of the sky remains largely untroubled by clouds, save for a few wisps of white that drift lazily across a canvas of endless blue. The overall effect is one of a tranquil summer's day, where the cool breeze from the ocean tempers the heat of the sun's embrace.

This print, as part of the 'Scotland in Summer' collection, evokes not just the visual splendour of Durness Beach, but also the timeless allure of Scotland's natural landscapes, offering a piece that is as evocative and memorable as the place that inspired it. Whether hung in a living room, study, or a space of contemplation, this depiction of Sutherland's majestic coastline serves as a beautiful invitation to lose oneself in the contemplative beauty of nature.
