piece features Buchanan’s signature interplay of geometric forms and reflective surfaces, set against a richly textured turquoise ground that evokes weathered canvas, open water, and maritime light.

Two tall, sail‑like structures rise vertically from the centre of the composition, rendered in alternating bands of deep blue and warm neutral tones. Their mirrored reflection below introduces a sense of calm stillness, suggesting water, horizon lines, and the quiet geometry of harbours. The tactile hessian surface adds depth and character, giving the painting a handcrafted, organic quality that contrasts beautifully with the clean architectural shapes.

This work is ideal for collectors who appreciate modern Scottish art, abstract coastal themes, and textured mixed‑media painting. Its bold turquoise palette makes it a standout feature piece for contemporary interiors, while its subtle maritime references connect it to Buchanan’s wider exploration of shoreline landscapes and man‑made structures.
