Wilkie Kilgour, Gentle Breeze presents a tranquil expanse of marshland beneath a softly luminous sky. Kilgour lays down the scene with confident, textured brushstrokes, allowing the paint itself to breathe and shimmer. Wisps of creamy clouds drift across pale blue and warm grey tones, suggesting calm movement in the upper air and giving the sky a gentle, spacious poetry.



The horizon sits low, revealing a broad sweep of wetlands where turquoise water threads through dark reeds and earthy brown marsh flats. Patches of bright yellow-green and warm rust notes enliven the middle ground, hinting at grasses touched by light and seasonal warmth. In the foreground, brisk strokes in green and terracotta suggest wild vegetation, anchored by a slender cluster of evergreens to the left—an intimate gesture of structure within a wide-open place.



Gentle Breeze feels painted from life: immediate, atmospheric, and quietly observant. Kilgour captures not only the physical landscape, but also the sensation of air moving over water and grass—a fleeting, peaceful moment held in paint.
