Hebridean Skies (2023) Photograph by Lynne Douglas

A soothing light blue and beige seascape in pastel blue coastal colours that makes you want to dream yourself to this magical place. Dream of the most beautiful of Summer afternoons at the beach. Light blue water laps softly on the sand and pale turquoise water stretches into the perfect light blue sky. All is muted and soft, an image made to gaze at for many years.

Made on a tiny beach at the southern tip of the Isle of Harris. A place of peace and quiet where few people live. On these shores you can feel as if you live a long way off from the rest of the world. It is a calming and uplifting place where idyllic scenes like this pass by unnoticed by all but those who seek them out to cherish them.

Themes - Beach, summer, water, sand, sea, calm, peace,
Colours - aquamarine, light blue, sand, beige, white

Printed on beautifully aquarelle fine art paper that has a watercolour paper texture and will not to fade for over a hundred years.

Printed at 56 x 32 inches plus a 2 inches white border with the signature, title and edition number under the image for a total size of 60 x 36 inches. This image is made in the perfect proportions for over the bed or over the sofa.

My work is all about the emotional connection we have to a place and the moment in our memory when we felt such intense pleasure looking at a landscape. I am driven to capture the essence of a place with my camera, working mainly with the colours and shapes I see when I half close my eyes. I travel to remote islands, to places steeped in history, unspoilt beaches and wild rocky coastlines where I love to work in quiet solitude.
