About the painting
Pendine Beach takes its title from Pendine Sands in Carmarthenshire, Wales, the long, flat beach used for land speed record attempts in the 1920s, including by Sir Malcolm Campbell. Vettriano was fascinated by that era of speed, daring and engineering, and Pendine Beach is a companion to his celebrated Bluebird at Bonneville, which is set at the salt flats where Campbell later broke the 300 mph barrier.
Its wide, panoramic format suits the sweep of the beach, and at 96 cm across it makes a striking statement piece for a living room, study or hallway. It is a natural choice for motoring enthusiasts.

Framing, display and care
The edition is printed on Hahnemühle mould-made paper, one of the most respected fine art papers in the world. Hahnemühle has been making paper in Germany since the sixteenth century, and its mould-made stock is acid-free and made for archival printing, with a gentle surface texture that gives Vettriano's colours a soft, painterly finish. To keep it at its best, frame it with an acid-free mount and UV-filtering glass, hang it on a dry wall away from direct sun, and avoid rooms with fluctuating heat or humidity. Handle the sheet only by its edges, and if you need to store it before framing, keep it flat and interleaved with acid-free tissue.

About Jack Vettriano
Jack Vettriano was born in St Andrews in 1951 and grew up in Methil, Fife. He left school at sixteen and taught himself to paint, studying the works in Kirkcaldy's gallery after being given a set of watercolours for his twenty-first birthday. When he sent two paintings to the Royal Scottish Academy's annual exhibition in 1988, both sold on the first day, and his career as a professional painter began.
Vettriano's paintings are known for their cinematic atmosphere: men and women in evening dress, beaches under heavy skies, quiet rooms where something has just happened or is about to. He was appointed OBE in 2003, and a major retrospective of his work was held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow in 2013 and 2014.
