Purple Skies over Sailboat - original oil painting, Saltsjöbaden, Sweden

20,000.00 kr
Tax included.

The sky brings drama to this painting. On some evenings, especially in late summer, the sky turns amazing colours - lavenders, mauves, and deep purples that reflect in the calm harbour water. This painting captures one of those moments.

A single white sailboat is moored in the foreground, its mast standing tall in a
scene that is otherwise about the wide sweep of sky and water. Behind it, a
weathered red boat shed sits - the kind of building that defines the Swedish
archipelago reflected in the water below.

Painted with broad, expressive brushwork and palette knife, this harmonious scene shows the beauty of a summer sky in the Swedish archipelago. The brighter warm tones
of the reds and oranges against the green trees draw the eye to the centre of the painting and down into the loose reflections in the water.

Exhibited in Lumens, Sally
Herriott's solo exhibition in Stockholm in 2025 and at the Grünewaldvillan, Saltsjöbaden, 2026.

Useful Information

Choosing art is a personal choice. It’s about finding something that feels right for you and your space. If you’d like help, just reach out. We can set up a video call to show you the painting up close and discuss your ideas. If you’re looking at more than one piece, we can compare them together during the call.

Owning an original piece of art is special. When you look at a painting and see its layers, textures, brush marks, and colors, you feel a real connection to the artist and the work. Each piece is unique and brings beauty and authenticity to your home. My art comes from my experiences moving to new countries and building a new life. Creating art helps me connect with people, and I feel this is what I am meant to do.
