SANDWOOD BAY
Sandwood bay a coastal seascape landscape painting, inspired by a remote and isolated 1 mile long sandy beach in the far North of Scotland accessible only by foot or boat, with a large thin sea stack, known as Am Buachaille or the shepherd towering above the waves.
In this painting I have used only black and white monochrome tones on a lightly textured canvas, as I thought this would be the best way to represent the tranquil atmosphere of this lonely bay. I like the way it reminds me of a black and white photograph, where the atmosphere is conveyed only through the composition and contrast of the tones. 24" x 24" canvas on board in a square profile white limewashed wood frame Also available as professionally printed fine art giclee prints 12" x 12" or 20" x 20" on textured watercolor style paper. Other custom sizes and surfaces are available to order. |
