Description
Blossom Bothy
“Blossom Bothy” is a delightful and evocative work from the celebrated Scottish artist Esther Cohen, part of her Tartan Bothy collection. In this print, Esther conjures a whimsical, almost fairytale-like vision of a traditional stone bothy nestled amid a soft swirl of spring blossom, capturing a fleeting moment of serene beauty and gentle life.
At the heart of the composition rests a humble stone bothy. Its roof — fashioned in Esther’s signature tartan-accented style — peeks subtly above a canopy of pale pink and white blossoms, as though the structure itself is emerging from a cloud of petals. Around the bothy, blossoms drift as if carried by a tender breeze, creating a sense of motion and grace. The sky overhead is rendered in soft tones of lavender, misty grey and dusky hues, wrapping the scene in a quiet, dream-like light. On the ground nearby, two white rabbits nuzzle together in a moment of affectionate calm — a gentle reminder of life’s small, tender joys. The overall mood is one of warmth, innocence, and peaceful renewal.
The title Blossom Bothy resonates threefold in this description: the blossom that envelopes the scene, the bothy that anchors the landscape, and the warmth and charm that tie them together into a harmonious whole. The result is a piece that feels timeless yet intimately connected to the rhythms of Scottish nature — a perfect embodiment of the Tartan Bothy spirit.
Esther Cohen is based near Edinburgh and has been creating her own artwork since 2008, after completing her Master of Fine Art and working previously as a lecturer in art and design. Her work draws heavily on the fleeting moods of the Scottish coastline — light, sea, sky, and weather — often using a combination of hand-painted ceramics and photographic techniques to produce her fine art prints. In “Blossom Bothy,” this signature style is evident in the soft textures, the dream-like colour palette, and the gentle blending of natural elements — all hallmarks of her atmospheric, romantic approach.
