This image was taken from the ridge of the Five Sisters of Kintail. Winter light and aerial perspective give a blue hue to the mountain tops that stand west of Sgurr Fhuaran.

This panoramic painting comes from one of my many trips to the Cairngorms to climb the Munros. On this occasion I mountain biked to the start of Glen Derry and followed trails through the remnants of the Caledonian forest, before breaking out onto the hill (Beinn Bhreac). This view comes at the start of that climb, where the trees and grass give way to heather slopes. On the left is Derry Cairngorm, and the peak in the distance with the 'barns' (local name for isolated outcrops of rock) is Beinn Mheadhoin - both on Munro's list of Scottish peaks. Painted from my original photographs using oil on board 24x12 inches in size.

This painting comes from the view you get at the end of the steep ascent of Beinn Liath Mhor (East Summit) when 'doing' the two Munros of the Achnashellach horseshoe in the Scottish highlands. Its a superb hill walk, and at this point the hard climb had been done, with just a gentle ascent along the ridge to the summit, (926m) a fiddly descent to the col, and steep little pull to Sgorr Ruadh (on the left 962m), and an easy descent off the view to the left. With more energy you might tackle the Corbett Fuar Tholl (907m), but it does look daunting with its scramble ascent. The prominent peak in the background is Ben Damph in the Torridon range.

Whilst many have seen the mountains of Glencoe, few have veered from the main road to take the back route behind the Chlachaid Inn, and fewer still would have spotted a clump of Scots pine on the hillside. Take a walk off that road at that point and in just a few yards you get this studpendous view - the reward for taking the road less travelled. I've painted it here in oil on a 16x12 inch board, based on a photo I took one snowy March a few years ago.

The race up (and down) Ben Nevis occurs in September each year. It was a warm sunny day the time I went to watch, and it seemed everyone else had the same idea. A crowd of around 200 people had gathered on the wide open space of the summit. So it was remarkable that I managed to capture this one figure - one of the race officials perched with his communication radio without anyone else in view. The building is a small shelter on the summit nestled on the remains of the old observatory / hotel which once stood there. The orange tube is another shelter amongst the ruins.

This painting of Glen Kinglass from the edge of Rannoch Moor (Scottish highlands) is based on a photo I took about 15-20 years ago, on a Spring trip to climb the Munros. The view was inviting, but the ground very much a boggy trudge. Painted in oil on a 20x8 inch board

I'd spent a couple of days at Gerry's hostel at Achnashellach, when it started to snow heavily with clusters of flakes the size of a fist thumping into my head. Though pretty to look at the snowstorm carried on through the day and into the next morning. As it finally eased I set off for a moorland peak that I knew would be safe from avalanche. At 600m it offered views into the snow capped mountains in several directions, but none so stunning as this view into the heart of Torridon as the clouds finally retreated. The steep wall on the left is Liathach, and the peak on the right is Beinn Eighe, with Beinn Dearg sitting in the background. From the photo I produced this oil painting sized 30x20 inches on board.
