Inspired by the haunting melody and timeless longing of the traditional Scottish folk song, Over the Sea to Skye captures the wild romance of the Highlands in a richly textured mixed-media and collage landscape. The composition evokes the sweeping moorlands and rugged hills that roll towards the distant horizon, where the sky and the anchient mountains merge in a veil of mist.
The surface is alive with layered earthy reds, burnt siennas, and deep purples, echoing the raw and weathered terrain of Skye. Glimmers of light and flecks of blue glint like memory—fragments of history and hope scattered across the land. The brushstrokes, at times forceful and at others delicately feathered, reflect the shifting moods of the Scottish landscape, at once majestic and melancholic. Just as the song speaks of a yearning journey home, so too does this work invite the viewer to travel across a storied land, carried by the wind and echo of a distant shore.
