This fine art print is based on an original pen and ink artwork and brings together some of the most evocative elements of the Scottish landscape in one dramatic scene. A majestic eagle swoops down to catch a fish from a mountain stream, while the ruins of an ancient castle stand among the rugged landscape beyond.
Mountains rise into the distance and a solitary stag can be seen further into the scene, adding another unmistakably Scottish element. The combination of Highland wildlife, mountains, flowing water and castle ruins creates a timeless interpretation of Scotland.
There is also a small detail hidden within the artwork. Look closely and you will find a subtle outline of Scotland incorporated into the composition. It's intended as a little discovery for anyone who takes the time to explore the drawing rather than simply glance at it.
This isn't a depiction of one particular Scottish location. Instead, it brings together the landscape, wildlife and history that have long made Scotland such an inspirational subject for me. The eagle, stag, mountain stream and ancient ruins all contribute to a scene that is unmistakably Scottish, while the hidden map adds a little extra character.
