Assynt in late March - the weather was gorgeous but still a lot of snow on the bigger hills. With no suitable kit, we went up a small hill instead - Ben Ghoblach which stands alone at the end of a promontory opposite Ullapool to the south and from which you get stunning views all around. This is one of 2 pieces inspired by the walk (the other is Over The Hump). Looking back, the 2 lochans looked like heart shapes on their sides and were a deep rich blue colour in contrast to the warm russet hues of the hills around.
It amazes me that so much of the work I produce can come from a handful of days and is certainly the case for this exhibition. I am always thankful for a beautiful weather day when I am able to get out and about with family or friends as they are the best days for inspiration.
