'November afternoon below Stob Coire Raineach'

‘November afternoon, below Stob Coire Raineach’, Acrylic & Pastel, 2011, 80 x 80 cm

Here is the latest of my new 80 x 80 cm paintings. We drive over Rannoch Moor and down through Glen Coe a good few times every year and the place never ceases to amaze me. Whatever the weather, the season or time, it always impresses. Sometimes it is almost completely filled with mist and cloud, other times hills rise steeply above you on all sides, clear and bright. Stob Coire Raineach always draws my attention …we did a scramble up the front of this hill a number of years ago with our friend Guy. I remember one especially slippery little set of crags we had to get over …with a big drop behind us..I imagine my language wasn’t too choice at the time …but I made it. This is the second largish painting I’ve done of this hill …and it probably won’t be the last.

‘Overlooking Glen Coe’

'Overlooking Glen Coe'

‘Overlooking Glen Coe’, Acrylic & Pastel

This painting is based on a day a while back when we were making our way along the ridge that twists its way between the top of the Devils staircase and Am Bodach. It’s a route we’ve taken a few times and it makes for superb but easy walking in the heart of Glen Coe. On this occasion the weather was fine but as we neared the high point at just over 900 m, a thick band of very low cloud drifted up the glen and started to obscure the hills. It didn’t last long and our hill stayed clear, but it made for a very atmospheric scene as we looked across the glen towards the flanks of Stob Coire Raineach.

‘Overlooking Glen Coe’ is currently on display as part of my exhibition at The Strathearn Gallery in Crieff. The exhibition opens on Saturday 12th February and continues until March 12th. For more details and to see all 45 paintings in the exhibition please visit: www.strathearn-gallery.com
