Price History
Description
Ron Lawson's explores the contemporary landscapes of Scotland. This ash wood-framed print is inspired by Traigh Mhor or 'Big Beach', a magnificent expanse of sand on the island of Barra in the Outer Hebrides. Born at home on a farm in Mid Lothian in 1960, Ron spent his early years enjoying the open spaces of the Scottish countryside. On leaving school at 16, Ron started work in the art studio of a large Scottish publishing house and here was encouraged to develop his watercolour skills. After 35 years, Ron left the firm to devote more time to painting and embark on a career as a full-time artist. Mixing a lifelong love of cycling with a desire to capture the beauty of the Highlands and islands of Scotland, Ron explores these areas with his bicycle, sketchpad and paint.
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece for its clean, modern aesthetic and how it captures the essence of coastal tranquillity. The Ron Lawson print works especially well in minimalist or Scandinavian interiors, where its calm colour palette can complement neutral tones and simple furnishings. Its generous size makes it a statement piece suited for larger walls-think over a sofa or along a hallway to create visual interest. Practical styling tips include pairing it with understated frames or mounting it as shown for a sleek look. To enhance its impact, consider placing it alongside other artwork or decorative elements in similar tones, but avoid overcrowding the space to let the print truly stand out.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
