About this painting:

This is one of my autumn Glen Lyon paintings.  It is based on a beautiful October day a few years ago when we went to do a walk in the hills above the glen.  The autumn colours were looking very special.  Everything was brightly coloured as the early morning sun appeared above the surrounding hills.

'Drumochter sketch'

'Drumochter sketch'

‘Drumochter sketch’, Pastel on gesso, 30 x 30 cm
Price: £ SOLD (includes P&P within UK)
This drawing is mounted and framed behind glass with a simple but stylish 7cm wide ‘York’ silver frame.  It can also be supplied with a mount only – please contact the artist for a revised price.

About this drawing:

This is one of my new pastel drawings and is based on some paintings I did of the hills above Drumochter Pass.  This simple line drawing is done in grey oil pastel on a course gesso surface …this seems to give the pastel marks just a little more ‘edge’ to them than when done on paper.

'Upland scene', Acrylic & Pastel, 2008, 200 x 100 cm

'Upland scene'

‘Upland scene’

Acrylic & Pastel, 2008, 200 x 100 cm

Price including P & P (within UK): £3000 Available

About this painting:

I really enjoy wandering the high tops, especially when there’s a mix of bright sunlight and heavy threatening clouds around. The landscape is turned into a patchwork of line and colour. Based on a walk we did one day early last autumn, this large painting tries to convey something of these patterns.

This painting is supplied unframed but is painted on board attached to a wooden support frame at the back. A standard frame could easily be fitted by your local framer.

Price including P&P (within UK) : £420   Available

About this painting:

Region: West Highlands

This is the latest of a number of versions of this painting. It tries to capture the point on a winter afternoon when the summits are catching the last sun (often snow covered) and lower down, the glens are already in deep and freezing shadow.

About this drawing:

Region: Northern Highlands

Every year in May my partner Anita and I have a couple of weeks holiday somewhere in the Highlands.  For the last couple of years we’ve been visiting the far North West of Scotland and staying at the beautiful bay at Achmelvich just to the north of Lochinver.  An easy but rewarding walk follows a rough path over the low hills between the two places and from anywhere along this route one’s gaze is captured by the stunning Assynt peaks of Suilven and Canisp.

Price including P&P (within UK) :  SOLD

About this painting:

Region: Central Highlands

This is one of the Drumochter paintings, this time looking out across Loch Ericht from the low point between A’Mharconaich and Geal-charn.  The views aare so big from these hills and on cold days the air clarity is so good that even my fuzzy eye can make out a little more than normal.

‘In the Drumochter Hills, spring’

Acrylic & Pastel, 2009, 110 x 95 cm

Ref: 105

This painting is framed in a simple cream coloured wooden frame.

Price including P&P (within UK) :  Available at Strathearn Gallery Exhibition

About this painting:

Region:  Central Highlands

This is one of a small series of paintings I’ve been doing over the last year that recollect one of my most memorable days on the hills.  This was a day that I reached the summit of my 100th Munro – A’Mharconaich.  It was almost the perfect winter day with good snow higher up and lower, the wonderful patchwork of snow filled gullies and hollows  dissecting the heather covered hillsides.

‘Rough terrain, Southern Uplands’

‘Rough terrain, Southern Uplands’

Acrylic & Pastel, 2007, 30 x 60cm

Ref: 66

This painting is framed behind glass in a simple but stylish 7 cm wide distressed ‘York’ silver frame with a light coloured mount.

Price including P&P (within UK) :  £n/a Artist´s Private Collection

 

About this painting:

Region: Southern Uplands

The walking in some areas of the Southern Uplands is much rougher and more demanding than in many parts of the highlands.  However, when the weather is fine, the colours of the grass, moss and bracken are really beautiful.  When topped off with a light scattering of snow high up the scene is quite stunning

‘Where sky and moor-land meet’

‘Where sky and moor-land meet’

Acrylic & Pastel, 2007, 30 x 60 cm

Ref: 69

This painting is framed behind glass in a simple but stylish 7 cm wide distressed ‘York’ silver frame with a light mount.

Price including P&P (within UK) :  £900 Available

About this painting:

Region: General

Being visually impaired it’s sometimes very difficult when out on the hill to make out where the land ends and the sky starts.   This painting is a little bit about that and it plays around with the wonderful bands of light and colour so often seen when looking from the depths of a shaded glen to the sunlit, snow covered tops and the sky above.

‘Frozen crag, Beinn an Dothaidh’

‘Frozen crag, Beinn an Dothaidh’

Acrylic, 2005, 30 x 30 cm

Ref: 23

This painting is supplied mounted but not framed.

Price including P&P (within UK) :  £225 Available

About this painting:

Region: Southern Highlands

Having a week or two of freezing temperatures in the hills can create some amazing conditions.  On this day every small stream and trickle of water was frozen , creating solid flows of ice over the crags ….nature at it’s very best.

‘The Auch Gleann & Beinn Mhanach, November’

Price including P&P (within UK) :  £1100 SOLD

About this painting:

Region: Southern Highlands

Beinn Mhanach is a lonely hill set well back from the road and surrounded by other hills.  I’ve never climbed it but we got this wonderful view after descending from one of it’s neighbours last autumn.

´Early Snow, Glen Shee´

‘Early snow, Glen Shee’

Acrylic & Oil, 2006. 30 x 30 cm

Ref: 18

This painting is supplied mounted but not framed.

Price including P&P (within UK) :  £225 SOLD

About this painting:

Region: Central Highlands

I’ve always liked this little painting.  When the snow is melting it tends to create a brief but beautiful pattern on the landscape.  On this occasion we were walking the hills above the ski centre and the patterns of snow and grass were much more man made.  Straight lines caused by the snow fences, cutting across the hillside like an abstract drawing.

´Below Mid-hill, Luss´

‘Below Mid Hill, Luss’

Acrylic & Pastel, 2009, 90 x 60 cm

Ref: 129

Framed without glass in a simple cream coloured wooden frame.

Price including P&P (within UK) :  £N/A Available

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.

‘West, above the Blackwater Reservoir’

Acrylic & Pastel, 2009, 76 x 23  cm.

Framed without glass in a simple cream coloured wooden frame.

Price including P&P (within UK) :  £N/A Available

** CURRENTLY BEING EXHIBITED AT WOODBINE CONTEMPORARY ART

About this painting:

My very first experience of winter walking was back in February 2002. I went with an experienced climber to walk Leum Uileim, a 900m hill on the edge of Rannoch Moor.  The weather that day was mixed, with bright sun at times but deteriorating to heavy driving snow showers.  As these showers cleared briefly, we were treated to some amazing views.  This painting is based on one such moment as we sat in the snow eating our lunch.

‘Coire an t’Sneachda, the Cairngorms’

Oil, Acrylic & Pastel, 2009, 88 x 88cm

Framed without glass in a simple cream coloured wooden frame.

Price including P&P (within UK):  £1175 SOLD

About this painting:

In 2003 I decided I needed to do a winter mountaineering skills course.  We went to Glenmore Lodge near Aviemore. In a week of almost perfect weather we were taken each day up into the northern corries to learn and practice the skills needed to walk safely in the Scottish mountains in winter.  Coire an t’Sneachda was one of our class-rooms!
