Built right into the shoreline, the old boathouse has thick stone walls, a moss-softened slate roof and a dark arched opening that meets the water. Across the loch a small house rests on a wooded point, while mist settles along the violet hills. Heather and lichen-gray rocks in the foreground add touches of purple to an otherwise silvery, overcast morning.
Cool and understated, it suits a home office, or the space above a console in a hallway where a quieter piece is wanted. This view belongs to the Highland Stillness collection, nine paintings set around one Scottish loch, its lodge and its hills, and it pairs beautifully with The Highland Burn and The Path to the Lodge.
