A very interesting painting Malcolm. This must have been spectacular to see. You've got a great texture on that peak - acrylic?

Thank you Marjorie, yes all the painting is acrylic using knife and brush. It was spectacular, but then it all is out there, I was lucky enough to do 3 trips out there altogether . I did include two small figures at about 1100 clock from the tent just below the purple band to show the vastness of the glacier, don't know if you can see them on the image.

Yes, I can just see them. It does give a perspective. Did you go on your own? I've just been reading a very interesting book by Tim Marshall, " Prisoners of Geography" ( yes, Not about art!) but this region is one which plays an important part in the division of countries re geopolitics. I would recommend it, very "reader friendly".

I did not go on my own, I have had a regular trekking partner for many years and she has shared the good and bad times on many of these trips.

Amazing scenery lovely painting.

Thank you Karen, much appreciated

Wow an awesome vision Malcolm takes the breath away

Much appreciated Dennis, I wish I had the skills to do this amazing area justice, I have so many memories from my trips out there.

This painting is based on a moment from one of my trips into the Karacoram mountains in Baltistan. My tent was pitched on the glacier amongst the rock debrie that covered the surface and one morning this amazing site happened, just a single top was brightly illuminated as though with a spot light, it looked so unreall but beautiful.

I have always loved the outdoors and have climbed and walked in various places in the world, after giving numerous slide shows and talks about my trips to raise money for charity, i realised the slides and photos did not do what i saw justice, so I decided to start trying to paint. I am self taught…
