Off-season, Achmelvich — Scottish Landscape Limited Edition Print

Off-season, Achmelvich was painted from a photograph Mary King took on a January afternoon in 2017, when the sun sat low on the horizon and cast long, bluish shadows amongst the marram grasses above the beach. Out of season, this normally busy stretch of sand near Lochinver was completely deserted and quietly peaceful, and the pastel captures a few minutes of weak but welcome winter sunlight on an otherwise cold, still day. It’s Achmelvich stripped of its summer crowds — the same white sand and turquoise water, seen in a very different mood. Limited edition prints from the original pastel painting are produced at 23.5cm x 37.5cm, ready to frame.
