‘Break in the cloud, Beinn Griam Beg, Sutherland’
‘Break in the cloud, Beinn Griam Beg, Sutherland’, Acrylic & Pastel, 2012, 76 x 23 cm
Catalogue number 245
Price: Framed £620, unframed £575 (contact the artist for current availability).
About this painting:
Region: Northern Highlands
As part of our May ‘summer’ holiday this year, we walked the small isolated hill, Beinn Griam Beg, situated in the middle of the Flow Country in Sutherland. The whole days walk was interrupted by heavy snow showers, the longest and heaviest being as we approached the summit. The ground was white over and we didn’t hang around long before deciding that it was probably wise to descend as quickly as possible. We shouldn’t really have worried as not too long afterwards, the heavy snow stopped and the cloud started to break all around. This painting is about that moment. We just stood and watched as the scene around us transformed ….within twenty minutes the sun was out and it was a beautiful spring afternoon.

‘Quartzite screes, Arkle, Sutherland’
‘Quartzite screes, Arkle, Sutherland’, Acrylic & Pastel, 2012, 30 x 30 cm
Catalogue number: 240
Price: Framed £420, Unframed £375. Contact the artist for current availability.
About this painting
Region:Northern Highlands
Arkle is one of a number of magnificent mountains located in the far north west of Scotland. Rising above Loch Stack its upper slopes are covered in very light coloured quartzite screes that sine brightly when caught by the sun. We walked up to the southern summit of the hill in May 2011 and although the cloud was high, there was a real gale blowing and it made for hard work walking over the loose and rough screes.

‘Approaching snow shower, Ben Loyal, Sutherland’
‘Approaching snow shower, Ben Loyal, Sutherland’, Acrylic & Pastel, 2012, 30 x 30 cm
Catalogue number: 239
Price, Framed £420, Unframed £375. (Contact the artist for current availability).
About this painting:
Region: Northern Highlands
Ben Loyal is a stunning mountain situated on the northern coast of Sutherland. On our recent holiday there in May this year we decided to try and climb it. It’s quite a long walk in to the base of the hill and then a steep pull up to the broad ridge. As we got to the top of the steep ground the weather that had until then been fine, quickly deteriorated and within a few minutes the snow was falling and the cloud descended. It was quite magnificent watching the big snow flakes and as I stood there I remember thinking that this scene would make a good painting. Hopefully this is it!

About this painting:
Region: Northern Highlands
You only have to gain a little height in the Flow Country to get huge views. This was the case as soon as we started climbing the gentle lower slopes of Beinn Griam Beg. When it wasn’t snowing it made you realise just how big, wild and remote this region is. …when it was snowing it made you realise just how small and isolated you were!

About this painting:
Region: Northern Highlands
This is another of my new ‘Sutherland’ paintings. This is based on the views we had as we were walking towards the base of Beinn Griam Beg, a modest hill of just under 600m that rises from the expanse of the Flow Country. Conditions were very varied and bright sunshine would quickly turn to driving snow and mist …the hills we were walking towards rapidly disappearing only to reappear half an hour later with a slightly white coating.

About this painting:
Region: Northern Highlands
This is one of my latest paintings created since we returned from Sutherland in mid May 2012. It is a view looking north from the steep slopes leading up to the summit ridge of Ben Loyal in Sutherland. After a bright start conditions had gradually deteriorated and this was the point that the snow started falling and the cloud started to descend….2 or 3 minutes later the views were gone and we were stood in mist and driving snow! That’s a real summer holiday for you!

‘Rannoch Moor – variations’
‘Rannoch Moor, variations’, Oil on canvas, 2012, 80 x 80 cm
Catalogue number: 220
Price: £1095, Currently being exhibited at the Beresford Wine Bar and Art Gallery, Ayr.
About this painting
Region: West Highlands
We’ve driven across the edge of Rannoch Moor on many occasions and have seen it under a variety of conditions. This painting tries to capture a little of the mood and changing colour of this wild landscape. It was painted using large broad brushes and thick paint put down in broad strokes. It is a little different from many of my paintings but I’ve enjoyed experimenting with the paint and textures and have thoroughly enjoyed working in this way.

‘Memories of rain, mist and melting snow, Beinn Chonzie, January 2007’, Oil on canvas, 2012, 80 x 80 cm
Catalogue number: 217
Price: Currently being exhibited at The Strathearn Gallery in Crieff
About this painting:
Region: Central Highlands
This is one of my new oil paintings. This piece is based on my memories of a wild day walking on Beinn Chonzie several years ago. As we approached the summit the conditions started to become very bad with heavy rain, cloud and increasingly severe gales. We decided it wasn’t worth going to the top but stopped briefly for lunch, sheltering as best we could on the steep southern slopes where patches of old snow were rapidly melting. It was wild and unfriendly weather and we did not feel welcome ….it was time to head down taking with us our wet gear and a rucksack full of memories.

Ref: 210
Price: £620 including P&P in UK
This painting is mounted and framed behind glass with a simple but stylish white gesso frame. It can also be supplied with a mount only – please contact the artist for a revised price.
About this painting:
Region: West Highlands
A couple of years ago we had a fine day walking the two summits of Buachaille Etive Beag in Glen Coe. It was cloudy as we made our way up to Stob Dubh at the south west end of the hill, but as we sat at its summit, the cloud occasionally broke giving views towards Glen Etive and the head of the loch. On starting to retrace our steps down the short steep section below the summit, the cloud once again broke around us. This time clearing to the east side but remaining thick to the west. It only stayed like this for a short time before filling in again and I took no photos. This painting is then, very much about my memory from the day. Hopefully it captures a little of this amazing place.

About this painting:
Region: West Highlands
This is one of several paintings I did following a short but memorable walk on the edge of Rannoch Moor a couple of winters ago. There was snow up on the higher hills of the Blackmount but the moor and the small hill we had wandered over were clear. It was cold though and all the lochs on the moor below us were either partially or completely frozen. They looked white against the dark colours of moor and I stopped for half an hour or so and just sat scribbling sketches and looking at this marvellous scene through my monocular.

About this painting:
Driving the A82 as it crosses the edge of Rannoch Moor, is always special. It really doesn’t matter what the weather outside the car is like, this amazing place always impresses. This little picture was based on a day we drove across under dark threatening skies and with a light covering of snow lying on the grass, heather and bog. There are a few parking spots at the side of the road and so this beautiful wild place can be enjoyed by all.

Price: £1095 including P&P in UK
This painting is framed without glass in a simple but stylish 11cm wide pale cream coloured wooden frame. It can also be supplied without a frame – please contact the artist for a revised price.
About this painting:
Region: Northern Highlands
This is the latest of four paintings I’ve completed on this theme. The view is from the upper slopes of Conival, (one of the two Assynt Munros) and looks out over the large expanse of wild rocky country to thenorth westof the mountain. On this occasion it was a spring day, the landscape looked like a patchwork of textures, colour and line made up by the combination of rock, grass, snow and shadow. This painting tries to explore these patterns and textures and is created using large bold brush strokes and in places quite thick paint.

This painting is mounted and framed behind glass with a simple but stylish white gesso frame. It can also be supplied with a mount only – please contact the artist for a revised price.
About this painting:
Region: Central Highlands
This painting is based on a very cold day I spent with my mate Guy the other year on the hills to the east of Drumochter Pass. Once you’ve hauled yourself up the steep flanks of these hills from the road, it’s a high, bleak and very wild area of undulating moor. Two of the higher bumps are classified as Munros and lie I guess, about four miles apart. We walked the two ‘hills’ on a layer of snow that held your weight for an instant….and then gave way as you transferred your weight! It was very hard work especially as we were walking for much of the day into a very strong and bitterly cold wind. We were both exhausted by the time we got back to the car in the last light of the day and we both agreed that we might not return to these two hills ….but strangely enough we do both remember this very tiring day….it was a bit of an epic!

About this painting
Region: West Highlands
This is one of my new 80 x 80 cm paintings and is based on a day when we watched cloud break off of the summit of a snow topped Beinn Toaig. Painted with broad brush strokes this bold almost abstract piece does none the less well convey this very Scottish scene.

About this painting
Region: Southern Highlands
After scrambling the very steep lower slopes on theeast ridgeof Ben Lui, we reached this almost level section. The mountain rose steeply again but the views on this wintry April afternoon were quite stunning. Occasional breaks in the thick cloud brought with them patches of light and colour that made the scene even more dramatic.

About this painting
Region: Southern Highlands
Ben Oss is one of the big hills that ring the Cononish glen to the west of Tyndrum. It’s a long approach from Glen Falloch to the south and on reaching the base of the hill it started snowing hard. The forecast had said there would be a short period of snow and so we continued up. It was difficult walking conditions but as we reached the summit we were rewarded by a sudden easing in the snow and a break in the cloud. For a few minutes it gave an amazing glimpse into the Cononish glen ..it was a wild and dramatic location.

About this painting
Region: Southern Highlands
I did this painting after a pleasant walk in the hills above Loch Turret in Perthshire. It was a fine autumn day with the first snow on the higher tops. As we descended in the late afternoon we walked through this boggy area of long grass – all was lit by the late low sun and it made for a beautiful view out over Crieff ad the lower countryside to the south.

About this painting
Region: Southern Highlands
The wild heather clad hills that rise on both sides of Loch Turret in Perthshire offer wonderful easy walking at all times of year. The walk from the dam at the southern end of the Loch to the summit of Ben Chonzie is a long one but it’s summit (the highest point in this area) can be viewed from most of the tops and on this occasion the first snows of the coming winter were scattered over its highest slopes.

About this painting
Region: Southern Highlands
The hills that rise around Loch Turret in Perthshire give superb views out over the lower countryside around Crieff. We’d walked a kilometre or so off the main route up Ben Chonzie, to reach an un-named little top. A small pile of stones marked the point, and the fact that others too made the short detour to see these fine views.

About this painting
A beautiful mid December day led to this and several other paintings. On this occasion we had done a relatively short walk up onto the wee top of Ghlas Beinn. It is only something over 500 m but it is right on the edge of Rannoch Moor and gives huge views to all points on the compass. Coupled with this we had dramatic skies, bright sunshine and the first snows on the high tops of the Blackmount and Glencoe …well, it was just stunning and made for a very memorable day.

About this painting
This is another of my Rannoch Moor paintings and was I think the first one in which I used copper and gold paints.

I have not use the copper and gold paint directly but mixed them with other colours to give a more subtle effect.

Ref: 156
Framed.
Price: £575 SOLD
About this painting:
Region: West Highlands
This is one of a series of paintings that are all based on one brief time a few years ago. We’d been returning through Glen Coe on a rather heavy winter’s afternoon and as we drove by the end of Glen Etive we saw this wonderful scene. The summits were snow topped with odd patches of snow right down to road level in places. The clouds were swirling and breaking around and over the hills with the late afternoon light making everything very atmospheric.

Framed.
Price: SOLD
About this painting:
Region: West Highlands
This is another of the paintings I’ve completed since our memorable short walk on the edge of Rannoch Moor back in late December. It really was a wonderful mixture of light and colour that day. As the big threatening clouds wandered by it would suddenly become quite dark for a few minutes with just odd patches of dim sunlight catching the moor-land grass. In this painting I’ve used a gold acrylic mixed with other colours to try and capture a little bit of the magic as the sun catches the beautiful winter vegetation.

About this painting:
Region: West Highlands
Based on the rather flattened and limited view I get when looking at the hills through a monocular, this painting looks toward the snow covered hills on the Blackmount. I used somewhat thicker paint for this picture which gives it an interesting surface and one that works well with the subject.

About this painting:
Region: Southern Highlands
The original version of this painting was much larger but sadly it really didn’t work well. I did however like the thick texture and marks in some areas of the painting and decided recently to cut three smaller sections out of the original …and then re work them. ‘Above Cononish’ (20 x 40cm) is one of these. For me, this is a far better reminder of this moment as we descended the hillside above Cononish several winters ago. Creating a good composition is sometimes as much about taking away as it is about adding paint.

About this painting:
Region: Southern Highlands
The walk around Beinn Dubh and Mid Hill above Luss is one of my favourites. The hills aren’t huge but they are steep and in winter can offer a surprisingly challenging few hours. This painting is based on just such a day, when on the tops the wind was gusting 50 mph with a wind chill of around -20C and in the shelter of the glen …it was more like spring. What the difference a few hundred metres can make.

Price: SOLD
About this painting:
Region: West Highlands
The drive across the edge of Rannoch Moor between Blackmount and Glen Coe is always special. A few days before Christmas, we decided to take a short walk along a broad heathery low ridge that stands just off the road on the edge of the moor. It was the day before the recent cold snap really set in and we experienced almost perfect conditions; dark heavy shower clouds with bright bursts of sunshine bringing out all the colours of the moor and occasionally catching the snow higher up on the big hills.

About this painting:

‘Breaking cloud, Am Bodach’
Acrylic & Pastel, 2010, 80 x 80 cm
Ref: 144
Price: SOLD Exhibited at Strathearn Gallery, Creiff in March, 2010.
About this painting:
Am Bodach, in the Mamores, is, like all the summits in this region a fine one. It’s very rocky and steep and on a day of heavy showers a couple of years ago it completely disappeared during one such heavy down pour. Then, quite quickly, the cloud began to break and the steep and quite daunting approach to the hill loomed in front of us. This is quite a large painting and one of a number of versions I’ve done that are based on this particular moment.

‘Passing shower, Isle of Arran’
Acrylic & Pastel, 2010, 30 x 30 cm
Price: SOLD
About this painting:
When you arrive at Brodick on the Isle of Arran, the view of Goatfell is very special. It rises steeply above the bay and is the highest point on the island. Last year as we walked along the coast towards this hill, we were caught in a series of early morning rain showers and far from spoiling the view they actually made it even better especially in the early light.

‘Beinn Liath Mhor’
Acrylic & Pastel, 2009, 30 x 30 cm,
This painting is framed without glass in a simple 7cm wide cream coloured wooden frame with a thin gold coloured filler between the painting and frame.
Price: £375 SOLD
About the painting:
This is one of several small paintings I’ve done based on a day on Beinn Liath Mhor, one of the big hills that lie to the north of Glen Carron in the NW Highlands. The hill has a wonderful undulating ridge that runs for a couple of kilometres with the summit at its far, northern end. We’d planned to walk this but on reaching the southern end of the ridge and starting along it, I found it was just a little too airy in places ..certainly for someone with little sight! So then, this is the view from the point I had to turn back. It was an amazing secen with the mists collecting on the eastern side of the ridge and then every now and again ..bubbling up and flowing over to completely cover the hill, before sinking back again a short while later.

‘From Conival, Assynt’
Acrylic & Pastel, 2009, 30 x 30cm
This painting is framed without glass in a simple 7cm wide cream coloured wooden frame with a thin gold coloured filler between the painting and frame.
Price: SOLD Exhibited at Strathearn Gallery, Creiff in March, 2010.
About this painting:
Conival and its neighbour Ben Mor Assynt lie in the wild and remote country. The hills are littered with boulders and on the day we were there, a stunning day in early May, the landscape appeared as a great patchwork of colour, light and texture. This is one of two paintings I’ve done based on the view looking NW from Conival.

‘Autumn grass, Beinn Inverviegh’
Acrylic & Pastel, 2009, 30 x 30cm
This painting is framed without glass in a simple 7cm wide cream coloured wooden frame with a thin gold coloured filler between the painting and frame.
Price: £420 including P&P (within UK) Available from Artist
About this painting:
On what turned out to be a pretty foul day earlier this autumn, a friend and I went for a short walk up the very modest little hill – Beinn Inverveigh. It’s normally a great vantage point for views of the bigger hills of Bridge of Orchy and the Blackmount. On this day though they were all shrouded in think cloud and so we found ourselves concentrating much more on the views close up. The colours of the windswept grass were just quite amazing and made up completely for the lack views on the grander scale.

‘Winter afternoon, Beinn Dorain’
Acrylic & Pastel, 2009, 90 x 60cm
This painting is framed with out glass in a simple cream coloured wooden frame.
Price: Available at Strathearn Gallery
About this painting:
Beinn Dorain is the fine hill that rises above Bridge of Orchy and the A82. I’d climbed it twice before and on both occasions never saw a thing – the whole of the summit being well shrouded in thick mist. On my third attempt at getting a view I was lucky. It was a fabulous February day with large patches of icy snow and to the south-east a partial temperature inversion with the peaks of Ben Lui and Ben Lomand appearing through the cloud. This was a mid week day and we only saw one other person …the perfect spot to have lunch and sit and take in the quietness and beauty of the location.
