Gallery 4, North Face, Ben Nevis

“The North Face of Ben Nevis presents a formidable facade high above the Allt a Mhuilinn, a bewildering array of rocky spires and pinnacles, hidden corries and dark gullies, tortured and elemental. Sitting in these rocky recesses on painting excursions I find profound silence, a crystalline world, harsh, unyielding, haunting yet utterly compelling.”
