Here's a recent painting of the north face of Ben Nevis and the Allt a Mhuilinn with Carn Mor Dearg on the left. The path leads up to the the CIC hut which is at the foot of the north face. It is easy to see the attraction to ice climbers, but sadly it is a dangerous place.
There is still no news of the two climbers who have been missing up there for ten days.
Yesterday I drove up to Fort Augustus. It was a beautiful sunny day and the hills looked stunning with their caps of pristine snow.It was a welcome change from the weather at the weekend - dreary rain and sleet with a cold wind.
I did a quick sketch of the mountains on the other side of Loch Lochy and then a closer view of the same hill; a Munro called Meall na Teanga. Helen and I had a great day out on these hills in the Autumn. .
Below is a painting of some daffodils. Sadly from the supermarket not our garden- it will be some time before we get any home grown flowers.
