Allison Young's "Summer Evening Light North Berwick" captures the gentle tranquility of an East Lothian coastal twilight with remarkable subtlety. This oil on board (18 x 27 cm) depicts the expansive sandy beach at North Berwick, where diminutive figures stroll along the shoreline beneath a dramatic sky. Young masterfully balances the vast, cloud-streaked heavens against the golden-hued sand, creating a sense of peaceful solitude despite the human presence. Her brushwork is confident yet delicate, particularly in the rendering of the town's silhouette against the horizon, where buildings catch the last warm light of day. The composition evokes a quintessentially Scottish coastal moment—where sea, sky, and land meet in perfect harmony.

The Scottish Coastal Experience
This intimate portrayal of North Berwick transforms any wall into a window overlooking one of Scotland's most beloved seaside destinations. The painting's horizontal format naturally draws the eye across the scene, inviting the viewer to experience the meditative quality of an evening beach walk. Young's work brilliantly captures the distinctive qualities of East Coast light—that clear, silvery illumination particular to the Forth estuary. When displayed in a living space, the painting's subtle palette of blues, greys, and sandy tones brings a sense of spaciousness and calm, while its evocation of a familiar Scottish landscape creates an immediate emotional connection for those who cherish these coastal environments.
