This expressive oil and cold wax painting captures the serene calm of Loch Fyne, viewed from Castleton in Argyll and Bute. As the sun slips beneath a bank of dark clouds, a sliver of light emerges at the horizon—casting a quiet golden shimmer across the loch’s still surface.
Dark clouds with cool grey moments loom above, their brooding weight in striking contrast to the gentle light reflected below. The composition is infused with warm undertones: deep browns and burnished golds dominate the palette, evoking the richness of dusk. Glints of sunlight ripple across the water, while distant hills are marked with subtle touches of magenta and teal—abstracted suggestions of scattered lights beginning to glow.
Built up through layered wax and palette knife work, the surface holds a distressed, textured quality that balances abstraction with atmosphere. This is a painting not only of place, but of memory and mood—a quiet celebration of light, land, and reflection.
This ready to hang painting measures 7" x 6.3" and is mounted and presented in a 12" x 12" white wooden frame with glass glazing.
