🌊 Hackley Bay

This month, I couldn’t settle on just one way to describe my painting of Hackley Bay, a beautifully remote part of the Aberdeenshire coast. So, I’ve split the story — part of it is in the painting’s introduction, and the rest is featured as a news article on the website. I hope you enjoy reading both.
