Orca Whale Framed Print - Isle of May Lighthouse - Seaside Watercolour

Orca Whale and Stevenson Lighthouse, Isle of May - East Neuk of Fife, Scotland - Limited Edition Watercolour Print.

This print captures a vibrant underwater scene featuring a playful orca swimming alongside the magical Isle of May. The island lies just off the East Neuk of Fife and is home to a huge array of seabirds, seals and sea life. Locals and tourists were thrilled to spot orcas here in the summer of 2025 and I was inspired to capture the moment in this painting!

The island’s iconic Stevenson Lighthouse sits proudly on the horizon. Built in 1816, it was engineered by Robert Stevenson, grandfather to Robert Louis Stevenson of Robinson Crusoe fame! The weather can change quickly around the island so I added a colourful rainbow, while a tiny sea urchin, a shoal of fish and swaying seaweed bring life to the rocky seabed below.

Each print is reproduced from an original painting that blends watercolour, ink, and coloured pencil.

The print itself measures 13cm square (just over 5 inches).

Choose to have your print framed or unframed.

• Framed prints come mounted in a contemporary box frame. Choose from white, black, oak effect or rustic washed wood. The frames measure 22-23cm square (9 inches). All frames can be hung on the wall and the white, black and oak effect also have a stand on the back so can be freestanding on a shelf. 
  
• Unframed prints come with a white mount and ready to fit into a standard frame designed for 8x8 inch inserts.

Each giclée print is signed and reproduced using the highest quality inks and Somerset 255gsm paper to ensure the print will remain vibrant for over 100 years. The paper has a beautiful texture that makes it barely distinguishable from the original watercolour painting. They are limited to a run of 200.

These prints would make perfect gifts for anyone that loves the seaside, nautical decor and particularly the East Neuk of Fife. The fun style might look particularly sweet as wall art in a child's bedroom or nursery or would fit perfectly into a coastal-themed bathroom.
