Price History
Description
"Inspired by the drama of the Scottish landscape, from the salmon rivers my dad fished, to the simplicity of a turquoise bay, these new paintings explore the power of colour to lift the spirit. I’ve indulged in the beautiful lushness of oil paint to express rivers, coasts, skies and hills. These paintings come from memory about the feeling of place, and the energy in wind and water. Turquoise Sea, Pink Sky is inspired by a joyful memory – a summer sea in Gigha" – Lesley Birch. Made in the UK by King & Mc. Gaw. Archival inkjet print with acid-free mount, responsibly sourced solid wood frame and UV protective glaze. Inspired by a joyful Scottish coastal memory, capturing colour and movement.
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece for its vibrant yet calming palette, making it a versatile addition to both contemporary and eclectic interiors. It's particularly effective as a statement piece above a neutral sofa or bed, where it can bring a splash of colour and energy without overwhelming the space. The size (61 x 62cm) lends itself well to grouping with smaller artworks or standing alone as a focal point. Practical styling tips include pairing it with minimalistic frames or placing it in a space with other soft textures and muted tones to let the colours pop. It’s a great choice for those looking to introduce a touch of seaside vibe and freshness to their living room or bedroom.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
