The Final Stretch - Catbells
Catbells is a firm favourite for many hill walkers as it is an easy ascent suitable for all levels and as a result is very often the 1st mountain many tick off.
The great Alfred Wainwright put it well when he said...
"It is one of the great favourites, a family fell where grandmothers and infants can climb the heights together, a place beloved. Its popularity is well deserved: its shapely topknott attracts the eye offering a steep but obviously simple scramble."
This popularity also makes it a very popular subject for local artists and as such Catbell's is one of those Lake District mountains that has been done to death (a bit like the path up in some places 🤣). The vast majority of paintings depict the view from the same viewpoints i.e from the lake shore at Keswick or from Friars crag.
I always try where possible to provide a different take on things and not just do the obvious so this painting provides a slightly different perspective showing the view from the first false summit you ascend looking across to the true summit which as many of you will know there is usually a queue for on a good day during the summer.
If you look very, very closely you will see I have included a collection of people on the summit to make it authentic but not quite enough to turn the stomachs of you die hard hillwalkers out there who prefer the solitude that hillwalking can provide.
If you like this and would like a lasting memory of your trip up the bells then the original painting as well as limited editions in a range of sizes are now available to purchase on the website. I offer shipping worldwide and if you live here in the U.K and spend over £25 I'll give you free tracked delivery!
