Seaside Frolics Oil

A vibrant semi-abstract seascape inspired by the sights, sounds and character of Scotland’s coastal towns.

This expressive oil painting brings together a collage of familiar coastal imagery — sailing ships, weathered lighthouses, wheeling seagulls and the ever-changing sea. Rather than depicting one particular place, the work draws on the many impressions gathered from Scotland’s coastline, creating a lively and dreamlike sense of place.

Bold colour, expressive shapes and layered forms combine to evoke the energy of a harbour town: the movement of boats on the water, the cry of gulls overhead and the distinctive silhouettes of lighthouses against an open horizon.

Painted in oils on canvas, the work is finished with a high-gloss varnish that enhances the richness and intensity of the colours, adding depth and luminosity to the surface.

Presented in a chunky charcoal-grey frame with a silver inner edge, the painting is framed and ready to hang.
