This small painting is one of six works I currently have showing in the Art Exposure Gallery on The Great Western Road in Glasgow.  The exhibition ends this weekend so only a couple of days to see it if you haven’t managed to get along so far.

I did this little painting after we climbed Beinn Damh several years ago.  We had hoped to get some superb views but alas the weather didn’t co-operate and for the most part we were following the compass and walking in thick cloud.  That said, we did get this one brief view of the summit but it only lasted for about five minutes at the most.  It was well worth it though and if I’m ever up in this part of the North West Highlands again, I’ll definitely be heading back up this fine mountain.

Over the years, we’ve walked many a hill in thick mist and seen little or nothing from the top.  Our walk up Beinn Damh the other year was just such a case.  This small painting is based on the only view we had and it didn’t last long before the mists closed in around us again.  Beinn Damh is a wonderful peak that rises at the head of Loch Torridon and the views should have been spectacular.

In the last couple of years we’ve been attempting to re-visit some of the summits whose views we missed the first time due to thick cloud…… Beinn Damh is definitely on the list of hills to go back to!
