"Summer Tides, East Coast" by Nerine Tassie captures the dynamic energy of Scotland's eastern shoreline with remarkable sensitivity. This mixed media work on board presents a mesmerising seascape where a single wave breaks against the shore, its crest illuminated with delicate touches of white and lavender. Tassie employs a sophisticated palette of muted blues, purples, and sandy beiges, creating a sense of atmospheric depth that extends from the foreground's rich burgundy shores to the hazy horizon. Her masterful layering technique creates a tangible sense of movement and atmosphere, suggesting the constant rhythm of tides against land and the particular quality of light found along Scotland's eastern coastline.

Coastal Contemplation
This intimate 20 x 20 cm work invites viewers into a contemplative relationship with the sea, offering a window into the ever-changing relationship between water, light and land. When displayed, the painting creates a focal point that brings the refreshing presence of the coast into any interior space. The compact dimensions of the piece allow it to work brilliantly in smaller areas where it creates a moment of pause and reflection. Tassie's work connects viewers to the distinctive coastal landscapes of eastern Scotland, capturing not just the visual essence of the shore, but also evoking the sensory experience of standing by the sea—the sound of breaking waves, the taste of salt in the air, and the feeling of endless horizon.
