Cir Mhor, 40" x 30", February 2005, Acrylic on canvas, £400It took seven photographs to create this panaromic scene of the mountains surrounding Glen Rosa on the Isle of Arran in Scotland. It was a hot summer day. The midges were biting. The streams were in full spate and more like rivers because of the previous day's bad weather but it is still one of my favourite walks. As we approached the foot of these mountains, so great ranks of clouds like stampeding horses assaulted the mountain tops and from where we were standing, they appeared to climb even higher riding on invisible thermals.
This view can be seen on the approach to Goatfell, the largest mountain on the island. The views from the top are spectacular and well-worth scrambling over the eroded footpaths.
