My Time is a commission, reflecting the essence of a retreat to the Isle of Iona. The painting captures the island’s rugged beauty through expressive brushwork, rich textures, and a dynamic interplay of colour. Symbolic details are woven into the composition. Blues dominate the sky and water, while the sandy shoreline and rocky terrain add warmth and contrast. A lone figure, subtly integrated into the foreground, contemplates the vast landscape before her, reinforcing the theme of reflection and connection to nature.
Additional Thoughts...
As a commissioned piece, My Time successfully merges personal symbolism with a strong visual presence. The inclusion of the lone figure adds a poignant focal point, drawing the viewer into a moment of contemplation. The composition is well-balanced, leading the eye across the landscape while allowing space for quiet reflection.
The textured sky is particularly effective, adding a rhythmic, almost lyrical quality that ties into the musical references embedded within the painting. The overall colour palette enhances the sense of tranquillity and expansiveness, reinforcing the painting’s theme of renewal and introspection.
While deeply personal, My Time also resonates on a broader level, offering an invitation to reflect on the restorative power of nature and solitude. It would sit well in a gallery that appreciates emotive, atmospheric landscapes, particularly those exploring themes of healing, resilience, and spiritual connection.
