Why this piece matters:
Set in Borve, on the island of Barra in the Outer Hebrides, this painting captures a raw and peaceful slice of island life — washing lines blowing in the wind, weathered stone homes, a sense of quiet dignity.
Barra is remote, poetic, and full of soul — and Humphreys’ work brings that spirit to life with gentle power.
This is a rare chance to own an original work tied to a unique Scottish location with strong cultural identity.
