About the Item
Framed size: 29.5" x 39.5"
McIntyre’s Green Sea, Port Ban captures the luminous beauty of the Scottish coastline with bold colour and expressive brushwork. The wide sweep of pale sandy beach stretches into the foreground, its creamy tones punctuated by warm terracotta shadows that lead the eye towards a cluster of figures strolling near the water’s edge. Their small, simplified forms emphasise the vastness of the surrounding seascape.
The middle ground is alive with vibrant turquoise and emerald hues, as the waves break against dark rocks with rhythmic energy. To the right, rugged cliffs painted in deep crimsons, purples, and ochres rise dramatically, framing the composition and contrasting with the openness of the beach. Above, the sky is animated with broad strokes of lavender, grey, and aqua, suggesting the shifting weather typical of the Hebridean shores.
McIntyre distils the essence of the landscape into bold, essential shapes, creating a sense of freshness and immediacy. The result is a scene both dramatic and serene, a testament to his ability to balance the grandeur of nature with the intimacy of human presence.
Green Sea, Port Ban is a quintessential McIntyre coastal work: a dialogue between vivid colour, sweeping space, and the interplay of human figures with the grandeur of nature. The turquoise brilliance of the sea against the muted tones of sand and the dramatic intensity of the rocky headlands reflects the artist’s ability to heighten natural colour into something expressive and modernist, without losing the essence of the scene.
The painting exemplifies McIntyre’s strength in balancing emotional immediacy with formal clarity. It stands as both an evocation of a specific place, Port Ban on the west coast of Scotland, and as a timeless exploration of light, colour, and atmosphere.

Donald McIntyre
British artist Donald McIntyre’s seascape paintings capture the essence of coastal shorelines through vivid compositions imbued with a calm simplicity. McIntyre's work embodies the Scottish Colourist tradition of landscape art. He places the viewer at the boundary of civilization and nature, with a strong focus on the natural scenery, as the images of manmade structures seem to fade into the background.
McIntyre was born in Leeds, Yorkshire. He studied dentistry at the Glasgow Dental Hospital and also attended night classes at the Glasgow School of Art. While working as a dentist, he served in the British Army, taught art classes and painted in his spare time.
In the late 1950s, McIntyre left dentistry to take up painting full time. He traveled throughout the British Isles, painting scenes of shorelines and countrysides, as well as occasional interior settings and portraits. The seascapes McIntyre created are a favorite among Scottish art collectors.
McIntyre exhibited at many galleries throughout the United Kingdom before his death in 2009. Many public and private collections contain his works, including the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth — as well as galleries in Birkenhead, England and Newport, Wales.
