Nael Hanna has been visiting and painting Auchmithie for decades, returning there again and again. He first visited Auchmithie as a student at Duncan of Jordanstone and then returned regularly while he was on a scholarship at Hospitalfield. He now enjoys working there from a studio he shares with another artist.

A much loved subject of Nael’s – he’s been painting this boat for decades and has watched as it has slowly become a part of the beach.
