Mary McDonald's "In My Free Time" presents a captivating abstract coastal landscape rendered in mixed media. This substantial work (95.5 x 95.5 cm framed) employs a striking palette of vibrant turquoise waters contrasting with soft pink foreshore and muted brown hills beneath a pale sky. McDonald applies her media with confident, expressive brushstrokes that create a sense of movement across the canvas, particularly in the flowing water and textured shoreline. Small touches of yellow add unexpected points of interest, drawing the eye across the composition. The artwork evokes a dreamlike quality, as if capturing a cherished memory of time spent by the sea—a moment of peaceful contemplation where reality blends with emotional impression.
Bringing Nature Indoors
The generous scale of this piece allows it to command attention on any wall, creating a window into Scotland's coastal beauty. McDonald's abstracted approach to landscape transcends mere representation, instead capturing the emotional essence of being in these special places. The soothing colour palette of pinks and blues brings a sense of tranquility to a space while maintaining visual interest through textural variation and compositional balance. Living with this artwork offers a daily connection to the restorative power of nature and the freedom found in leisure time spent in Scotland's magnificent coastal environments.
