About this painting.
When I stood before the Old Man of Storr, I wasn't just seeing a rock formation; I was feeling the immense, raw energy of Skye. That's what I wanted to capture in this piece. For me, it wasn't about painting every detail perfectly, but about conveying the spirit of the place.
I used thick layers of paint, applying it with a palette knife to build up the rugged texture of the land and the Storr itself. You can see the history of the landscape in those layers – the wind, the rain, the sheer ancient power of it all. The colours are a deliberate choice to heighten the emotion of the scene. The sky isn't just blue; it's a dramatic mix of deep teals and purples, with that burst of bright, hopeful light breaking through and catching the edge of the pinnacle. That light is the focal point, the moment of awe that I felt standing there.
This painting is my memory and my feeling of that iconic view. It's about the drama of the Scottish Highlands, the interplay between shadow and light, and the enduring strength of the land. I wanted anyone looking at it to feel a sense of that wild, breathtaking beauty that I was lucky enough to witness.
Thanks for viewing and reading about my artwork, and please don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions, Kevin.

Own the Exclusive Artist's Proof | A Unique, Signed Fine Art Print
Before I approve any of my paintings for a new print run, I work closely with my printers to create a single, perfect test print. This is the first one made—the one I personally inspect in my Gourock studio for colour accuracy and quality against my original painting.
By tradition, this unique piece is called the Artist's Proof (A/P). It’s my final seal of approval. For each of my paintings, only one of these will ever exist, making it a truly special collector's item for those who want the most exclusive version of my work available.
Your Collector's Piece: The Details
I've chosen the highest quality materials to ensure this proof is a work of art in its own right. Here’s everything you need to know about this unique print:
A True 1 of 1 Original: This is the only Artist's Proof for this painting. Once it's sold, no others will ever be created, making it the rarest version of this artwork.
Hand-Signed and Certified: I personally sign, title, and date the print by hand. I also mark it with 'A/P' to certify its unique status as the official Artist's Proof.
Museum-Grade Hahnemühle Paper: I have selected Hahnemühle German Etching (310gsm), a world-renowned, heavyweight fine art paper from Germany. Its distinct, velvety texture is perfect for capturing the depth and colour of my original work, creating a stunning, archival-quality giclée reproduction.
Archival Giclée Print: This proof is created using the sophisticated giclée printing process with archival pigment inks, guaranteeing that the colours will remain vibrant and true for a lifetime without fading.
