IN THE BEGINNING…

The painting ‘IN THE BEGINNING…’ captures the essence of the Old Course at St Andrews, often revered as the birthplace of golf. The artwork portrays a dramatic scene, dominated by a gloomy sky that adds a sense of depth and atmosphere. This moody backdrop contrasts beautifully with the yellowish and golden hues of the surrounding buildings, made of aged bricks and stones, which are steeped in history.
At the heart of the composition lies the iconic Swilcan Bridge, a symbol of the course and the sport itself. This historic bridge, with its rustic charm, invites viewers to reflect on the countless players who have crossed it over the centuries, making it a poignant focal point in the painting.
The choice of colours enhances the nostalgic feel of the piece, evoking the rich traditions of golf that began in this very location. ‘IN THE BEGINNING…’ serves not only as a tribute to the Old Course but also as a celebration of the sport’s enduring legacy, making it a striking addition to any collection of golf art.
