Inspired by a drive through the Scottish Borders in early spring, this painting is a celebration of the countryside’s seasonal awakening. The composition was born from the sudden, breathtaking contrast of vast, bright yellow rapeseed fields set against the rolling green hills of the landscape.

In this piece, the natural world is reimagined through a structured, rhythmic lens. A winding golden road draws the eye deep into the heart of the countryside, past clusters of colourful, geometric houses and towards the soft glow of a full moon. Below the hills, a tranquil harbour comes to life, with sailing boats reflecting their light onto the deep blue water, creating a bridge between the land and the sea.
