Capturing the ephemeral grace of twilight, this evocative print transports the viewer to the serene Portpatrick Harbour, where the last light of day sets the scene ablaze with colour. Brushstrokes charged with energy lay down an array of deep blues and turquoises to depict the calm water, rippling quietly as it cradles the moored boats. Hints of crimson and vermilion adorn the vessels, weaving a striking contrast that mirrors the fiery canvas above, where a palette of warm oranges, reds, and yellows blend into a dusky sky.

Against the harbour, the abstract representation of the homes seems to tumble down towards the seafront, the charming facades painted in cool whites and muted blues with touches of yellow suggesting the glow from inside. Each building and boat, while abstract in form, is rendered with a certain character, unique in its juxtaposition of angles and textures, evoking the quaint and picturesque nature of this Scottish locale.

Reflections dance on the water's surface, fragmented and reconstructed in bold, confident strokes, creating a mirror image that is both a contrast to and an echo of the life above. Look closer, and the silhouettes of distant birds in flight can be seen making their final rounds before nightfall.

This piece is a celebration of the serene and the vibrant, a testament to the allure of Scottish Harbours, and a magnificent tribute to the embrace of day and night at Portpatrick - a jewel amidst the waves, transforming an everyday moment into an abstract splendour.
