This evocative coastal scene captures the raw, untamed beauty of a beach on the Isle of Lewis, part of Scotland’s remote and storied Outer Hebrides. Viewed from above, the composition flows from luminous turquoise shallows into deeper Atlantic blues, evoking a sense of calm and spaciousness. The white arc of the sandy bay contrasts gently with the textured rocky headland and muted moorlands beyond, hinting at the island’s ancient geological story and elemental forces.
Executed in Yvonne Cavens’ signature style—where abstract realism meets emotional resonance—this work blends soft, gestural strokes with careful tonal transitions, creating an atmosphere of memory and quiet awe. The scene invites the viewer into a moment of stillness, evoking the feeling of standing at the edge of the world.
A compelling piece for collectors drawn to contemporary landscape with a poetic sensibility, this work holds particular appeal for those with a connection to the Scottish isles or a love of coastal solitude.
