Swilcan Bridge Twilight
(St Andrews Links Scotland)
Original Painting

This is an original acrylic on canvas painting by Lawrence Dyer, titled Swilcan Bridge Twilight (St Andrews Links Scotland. Painting is 12" x 16" and is framed in a beautiful 5.5" antique gold wood frame to 21.75" x 25.75". According to the artist, he "wanted this painting to have the dark brooding contrasts reminiscent of paintings in the renaissance. The stark contrast of light and dark, called ‘chiaroscuro’, is used to achieve a dramatic intensification of the image creating an atmospheric almost solemn mood. The muted illumination of the twilight sunset reflected in the water creates a sense of mystery, and the feeling that this unimposing structure is really just an ancient livestock bridge. In fact it is one of the most recognized cultural icons in the sport of golf and many of golf’s great champions pay homage to the sport by being photographed on the bridge."
