Peter Symonds is a leading UK landscape artist specialising in painting mountain and coastal subjects, both in Britain and abroad. Describing this painting, he writes: "One of the joys of travelling through this beautiful country, is the wonderful sense of space that the landscape so often provides. I have stopped and admired this scene overlooking Loch Linnhe a number of times before, but on this occasion the superb clouds and the light flickering over the loch called for a prolonged visit."

About the Artist

Peter was born in 1964 and started painting professionally following his graduation from Leicester University.

Working exclusively in oils on canvas, he is most closely identified with scenes of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. As a keen traveller, his desire to paint wild, remote places has taken him to some of the most beautiful parts of the world. However, he is quick to admit that no location holds the same attraction as the stunning Scottish landscape that he so loves to paint. In his quest to find new subjects, he is never happier than when, with a laden rucksack, he heads out into the hills.
