The Stag and the Sea

Emerging from the shelter of the coastal woodland, the viewer is met by an unexpected sight: a stag moving calmly through the shallow waters of the Atlantic shoreline. Framed by windswept grasses, rocky islands, and the soft light of the Scottish coast, the scene captures a fleeting encounter between land and sea, wilderness and wonder. Inspired by a real moment in Scotland, this artwork celebrates the quiet surprises nature reserves for those who take the time to explore beyond the familiar path.
