Absolutely stunning Quintin, have visited Skye many times from London, and love this view of Blaven. Yet to paint it myself though, maybe next project!

Absolutely superb, beautifully painted, has an almost photographic look to it. I’d keep it as well particularly with your connection to the area.

A cracking piece Quintin really does the hill justice, Sky sits well in my memories of the hills and this is so good, nice one.
