Fair Isle Acrylic

Original Painting | Acrylic on Canvas | 70 x 50 cm | Ready to Hang

A bold abstract seascape painting where sea, land, and sky meet in vibrant contrasts. Rich blues, glowing golds, and earthy reds create a layered composition that shifts between tranquillity and energy.

Fair Isle is the southernmost of the Shetland Islands, Scotland. They make woollen jumpers with distinct patterns.

Shipping Forecast
Each painting in the Shipping Forecast series takes its title from the language of the forecast itself — either a named sea area or a line describing wind and conditions.
I’m drawn to the restrained poetry of that language: measured, factual, yet quietly atmospheric.
In these works, that coded maritime vocabulary becomes visual rather than spoken, with shifts in colour, direction and surface reflecting the subtle tension between calm and disturbance carried within the forecast’s steady tone.
