I did this small painting last year after we visited the Ochil Hills on a particularly fine New Years Day.  The view looks past the slopes of Craighorn which we descended for the first time last Sunday and it makes a fine route off of the hill.  This painting is currently hanging in my studio and is for sale, priced £485.

To read more about our recent visit to these fine small hills, click this link to my latest blog which includes four photos taken that day.

You may remember we spent our New Years Day walking in the Ochil Hills.  It was perfect conditions with the higher slopes whitened with a light covering of fresh snow.  A mixture of heavy clouds and bright sunny breaks made for beautiful subtle light and colours.  This small painting is my first attempt at trying to capture a little of that day.
