The Sentinel, Orkney (2017) Photograph by Lynne Douglas

An atmospheric and moody seascape from Birsay, on the northern tip of Orkney Mainland, where the Atlantic Ocean rolls in with deep teal waves crowned in white foam. A lone seabird stands watch over the wild sea, guarding the tidal island that disappears beneath the high tide. This remote place is steeped in history — its cliffs and sands still hold traces of settlements from over 900 years ago.

The Sentinel captures the power and solitude of Orkney’s coastline, where stormy skies meet untamed waters. The palette of teal, grey, and white creates a dramatic yet harmonious composition — both contemporary and timeless.

Printed at 30 x 30 inches on luxurious Canson Aquarelle fine art paper, signed, titled, and numbered beneath the image. Also available in bespoke sizes and on canvas.
