Capturing the rugged beauty of Ben Nevis, this expressionist print presents Scotland's highest peak in a whirlwind of colour and texture. Bold strokes of white and blue depict the mountain's iconic snow-capped summit, while a harmony of rich reds and oranges infuses the canvas with the fiery hues of a highland sunrise or sunset. Contrasting the warmth, cool shadows in deep blues and purples dance across the rocky crevices, suggesting the ever-changing Scottish weather. The foreground is a vivacious spectacle of vibrant yellow, suggesting the wild gorse and heather commonly found in the Scottish landscape, adding a splash of life to the scene.

In the lower portion of the piece, an intriguing reflection emerges, as if the mountain's majesty is mirrored on the surface of a loch. The reflection is fractured, featuring a daring underside of purple, red, and orange streaks, as though water has taken on the fiery colours of the sky at dusk or dawn. The textural interplay between the smooth, flowing lines of the reflection and the rough, impasto-like quality of the mountain and sky above creates a dynamic visual experience.

This print, part of the 'Scottish Munros' collection, brings forth an atmosphere that is at once familiar yet steeped in the emotion and subjectivity characteristic of expressionist art. It portrays not simply the physicality of Ben Nevis but also the emotional resonance it holds for those who behold its grandeur. This piece is a celebration of the Scottish wilds, encapsulating the spirit of the Highlands in a striking array of colour and movement.
