Yangzer Gompa (detail)
61 x 104 cm
£ 1250 instead of £2500
This is one of a series of paintings for my Ambleside Mountain Festival exhibition in 96. It was painted after trekking in Inner Dolpo on the ancient yak route that passes through Shey Gompa, immortalised in the book "The Snow Leopard".
Port Salon Beach
100 x 150 cm
£ 2500 instead of £4000
Painted on 18 and 19 September 2016. A rare grey day in Donegal.
The Paps
100 x 150 cm
£ 3000 instead of £6000
Painted at magical Port Ban, otters and eagles for company.
Hebridean Blues
50 x 70 cm
£ 1200 instead of £1400
Coral beaches, islets, islands and invisibly clear water. On a clear day the highlands and islands are heaven on earth.
Jura
30 x 30 cm
£ 700
This painting goes some way to explaining my love of the West Coast of Scotland. Clouds scudding across the sky, their shadows racing across the hills, deep blue sea in the Sound of Jura, light emerald shades of the sunlit sandy shallows. Sparkling white surf on the rocks and beach. And a brisk Northerly keeping the midges away.
Ring of Bright Water Study
26 x 36 cm
£ 500 instead of £800
My secret cove, otters and seals for company. A magical place, a Northerly blowing white horses down the Sound.
Jura, evening light.
22 x 34 cm
£ 400 instead of £700
Often at the end of the day, the light rewards those still outside with a dazzling show. This was really only the beginning of the end of the day with the sun reflecting off the sea in a thousand sparkles as it dropped down playing hide and seek among the scudding clouds.
Loch Awe, 10pm
24 x 25 cm
£ 400 instead of £700
Painted at the end of a long day's working en plein air at Eredine on Loch Awe in the magical gloaming of the North west summer. Midges held a bay with a large outdoor citonella candle and generous doses of Jungle Juice. Oil on upcycled prepared card. Framed in an off-white bespoke frame under museum glass.
