Ben Nevis & The CMD Arete – Paul Talbot

Ben Nevis is one of Britain’s most iconic mountains so I had to paint it however I only had pictures from a trip in summer so I decided to use my artistic interpretation and paint it as a winter’s scene; everything apart from the shape of the mountain is painted from imagination.

From a young age, I developed a fondness for wildlife and dramatic landscapes from spending lots of time in woodland around Horsham and visits to the South Downs. As I got older, my interest grew and trips to Snowdonia and The Lake District really cemented my love for the great outdoors, inspiring my art today. Capturing dramatic landscape scenes, often in moody weather; I paint using oils, in a bold, loose realism style.
