A stylised, mixed-media painting of Edinburgh (“Auld Reekie”) in winter, by Nikki Monaghan. The skyline features a densely packed row of historic buildings — tall spires, turrets, and rooftops — rendered in a loosely brushed, abstract form. The cityscape is composed of layered strokes of colour: rich reds, greens, teals, and muted earth tones, giving a shimmering, almost impressionistic effect. The sky is a cool, vibrant teal-green, speckled with white flecks evoking falling snow or stars, and a soft full moon glows pale in the upper left. The overall effect is dreamy and atmospheric, balancing architectural detail with a playful, memory-like simplicity.

Description

WINTER LIGHT, AULD REEKIE Framed Open Edition Fine Art Giclée Print by Nikki Monaghan.

WINTER LIGHT, AULD REEKIE captures a magical winter evening in the heart of Edinburgh—yes, the iconic city of Auld Reekie is at the centre of this dreamlike composition. In this piece, the artist Nikki Monaghan has distilled the bustling skyline of Auld Reekie into a softly-abstract, shimmering memory of stone roofs, spires and turrets beneath a pale full moon. The layered strokes of rich reds, greens, teals and muted earthy tones create a glow of winter light over the cityscape; white flecks in the sky echo falling snow or stars, lending the work an atmosphere of stillness and wonder. In “WINTER LIGHT, AULD REEKIE” you feel the presence of Auld Reekie without rigid realism—Monaghan creates a timeless memory of place rather than a photographic record.

Drawing inspiration from her home base in Falkirk, Central Scotland, Nikki Monaghan studied at the Scottish College of Textiles (Heriot-Watt University) where she gained a BA Hons in Printed Textile Design. First4Frames Gallery Throughout her practice she focuses on Scottish villages, harbours, towns and cities—bringing colour, joy and a sense of connection to each piece.

First4Frames Gallery In “WINTER LIGHT, AULD REEKIE” the result is a piece that both celebrates the architecture and atmosphere of the city and invites the viewer into a reflective mood—a winter evening in Auld Reekie remembered with warmth and affection.
