Ian Rawnsley's "East Coast Storm Waters" captures the raw, elemental power of Scotland's coastline during turbulent weather. This oil on board (37 x 37 cm framed) employs a dramatic palette of stormy blues, whites, and greys, with thick, textural brushwork creating a sense of churning, tempestuous waters. Rawnsley's technique is boldly expressive, with layers of impasto paint applied with both brush and palette knife to evoke the violent meeting of sea and sky. The composition brilliantly conveys the energy and movement of storm-tossed waves, whilst the muted, atmospheric light filtering through the clouds suggests the ephemeral quality of coastal weather systems.

The Transformative Power of Coastal Storms
Hanging on a wall, this compact yet powerful seascape brings the bracing atmosphere of Scotland's east coast directly into the viewer's space. The painting creates a focal point that shifts with changing light throughout the day, its textural surface catching and reflecting ambient light much like the sea itself. Rawnsley's work connects viewers to the enduring relationship between Scots and their maritime environment, reminding us of nature's untamed beauty and formidable strength. This piece would command attention in both traditional and contemporary interiors, its emotional resonance and tactile qualities inviting repeated contemplation of the elemental forces that shape Scotland's distinctive coastal identity.
