‘Old Harry Glow’ Original Painting of Old Harry Rocks By Kate Shephard, Modern Dorset Coastal Landscape with Gold Leaf for Elegant Interiors

‘Old Harry Glow’ Original Painting of Old Harry Rocks By Kate Shephard - Introducing ‘Old Harry Glow,’ an original oil painting that captures the quiet majesty and timeless beauty of Dorset’s famous Old Harry Rocks. This hand-painted piece is inspired by the ever-changing light over the Poole coastline, where dramatic cliffs meet the gentle sweep of the sea. I’ve chosen a soft yet striking palette of moody greys, delicate whites, and subtle hints of lemon yellow to evoke the calm serenity of the coastline as daylight shifts. To enhance its ethereal quality, I’ve incorporated touches of gold leaf, adding a luminous accent that glimmers beautifully when the light catches the canvas.

Measuring 61 x 61 cm, ‘Old Harry Glow’ is more than a painting – it’s a statement piece that speaks of nature’s grandeur and stillness. The interplay of shadow and golden light reflects those fleeting moments when the sun casts its last warm glow across the sea, transforming the rocks into glowing monuments. This artwork brings a sense of depth and sophistication to any room, while the shimmering highlights create a sense of movement and energy that draws the viewer in.

Every brushstroke in this piece was carefully considered to capture not just the look, but the mood and spirit of the place. Working with oils allowed me to build rich, velvety layers of colour, while the addition of gold leaf introduces an element of radiance and refinement, making this artwork completely unique. No two views of the painting are ever quite the same as the light plays across its textured surface.

‘Old Harry Glow’ would complement a range of interiors, from modern minimalist spaces to coastal-inspired homes. Imagine it above a mantelpiece, becoming the natural focal point of a living room. Picture it gracing a serene bedroom wall, adding calm elegance, or standing proudly in an entryway to create an unforgettable first impression. It would also bring warmth and character to a dining space or home office, offering a window to nature’s beauty.

This painting would make a deeply meaningful gift for art lovers, coastal enthusiasts, or anyone with cherished memories of Dorset. It’s a piece that celebrates connection—to nature, to place, and to the quiet strength of the landscape. Perfect for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, or housewarmings, ‘Old Harry Glow’ is both a treasure and an heirloom in the making.

As an original oil painting, this piece is truly one-of-a-kind. Once sold, it cannot be replicated. If you’ve been looking for artwork that tells a story and brings a sense of timeless beauty into your home, this is your opportunity. Bring the glow of Dorset’s coastline into your space and let ‘Old Harry Glow’ become a piece you’ll love for years to come.
