Snow on Vatersay

A croft in winter — snow on the fences, a red gable bright against white hills, a crescent moon rising.

In Pauline’s own words: “One morning — it must have been the first winter here — we woke up to snow. I didn’t waste a moment getting out my paints. It was early morning, with a tiny crescent moon. So magical.”

Giclée fine art print of an original oil painting, on museum-grade Hahnemühle German Etching paper (310gsm), made to order and shipped worldwide from the print facility nearest you.

From an original oil painting by Pauline Hynds Bari, painted in the Isles of Barra & Vatersay. Original paintings are sold in person at Bùth Bharraigh, Castlebay.

A painting should arrive the way it left the easel — whole. Nothing here is cropped or trimmed to fit: every print carries the complete work at its true proportions, held in a gallery border of white on all four sides — room for the frame, protection for the edges, and a quiet breath around the work itself. Each sheet size is chosen to match the painting’s own proportions, so the border sits evenly and the finished print drops straight into a standard frame.

The size named on each option is the full sheet of paper, border included. The painting's exact printed dimensions within that sheet are given below, so you know precisely what arrives:

• On the 12 × 16 inch sheet (30.5 × 40.6 cm), the painting spans 37.6 × 27.1 cm inside a border of at least 1.5 cm
• On the 18 × 24 inch sheet (45.7 × 61 cm), the painting spans 56.6 × 40.8 cm inside a border of at least 2.2 cm

The canvas edition. A stretched canvas, 20 × 28 inches (51 × 71 cm), 38 mm deep. Here the painting fills the entire face, edge to edge, with clean white sides — the honest look of a fresh canvas on the easel, nothing of the work folded away or lost. It arrives ready to hang, no frame needed.
