Neighbours
Neighbours captures the remote beauty of the Shieldaig peninsula, where a solitary croft sits by the water’s edge, bathed in golden sunlight. Its whitewashed walls gleam against the deep blue of Upper Loch Torridon, framed by wind-swept trees and rugged terrain. Across the loch at Diabaig, a second cottage appears, connected only by the expanse of water and a shared sense of isolation. Jill’s evocative use of mixed media brings the scene to life, conveying the stark yet peaceful charm of this Highland setting.
Painted on 200lb watercolour paper, Neighbours is a testament to the harmony between human habitation and nature’s untamed beauty. The piece is framed in a 2cm-wide white-painted wooden box frame, with a 6cm off-white mount, giving it an elegant, clean presentation. Measuring 68cm x 48cm overall, this painting is an exquisite reflection of the Highlands’ tranquil allure and enduring spirit.
