Price £675

As anyone who reads my blogs will know, we walk bits of the West Highland Way quite regularly…..usually to get to or back from a hill.  I’m hoping this year to put together a series of paintings based on views from, or above this famous long distance path.  I have a number of works already completed that could be included and this painting is one of them.

It is based on a view we had as we were walking back along the WHW between Ba Cottage and the Glencoe ski centre.  We had  been walking the hills to the west of the path and were at the end of what had been a long day when we saw this heavy shower moving towards us across the edge of Rannoch Moor.

The painting is one of ten works  currently showing in the Winter Exhibition at The Biscuit Factory in Newcastle upon Tyne.  The exhibition runs until the end of February so do call in to see it if you live in the city, or are visiting the area.  There is so much to see at The Biscuit Factory that it makes a great day out.  I hope you can get along to see this painting.

‘Passing snow shower, on the slopes of Ben Loyal’

This painting is one of the pieces I currently have showing at The Biscuit Factory  in Newcastle upon Tyne as part of their four month long “Winter Exhibition”.

The painting is one of several I did following two walks on Ben Loyal a couple of years ago.  Ben Loyal is one of mainland Scotland’s most northerly peaks and we had two attempts at climbing it when we were visiting the area in early May.  The weather was particularly bad that year and on our first trip to the hill we were caught in some very heavy snow showers.  It made for some fantastic views but we also decided to turn back as we had no winter gear with us and for a while it looked like the weather was setting in quite bad.  We did go back a few days later however and managed to do a full traverse of the hill.    It’s a great peak and well worth visiting if you are up in the far north of Scotland.
