Between the Cuillins, Scotland

Artist’s Note

The Red and Black Cuillins seen from Sligachan, on the Isle of Skye.
A magical glen. I crossed the road across from the hotel at Sligachan, and after a few minutes turned around and couldn't see the road or hear the traffic (which was sparse). The silence was awesome. But as I got used to the quiet, I heard other sounds. A butterfly flew past me; the tinkling of the small stream which led to a larger stream.
I photographed the scene and painted it later. This rendition is recent; partly from memory.
