We are the mountain

Acrylic on canvas 
79cm x 79cm 
As soon I got back from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I got into the studio to lay down some colours and marks on a canvas. Inspired by the woodland walks in the mountains of the highlands. I worked from memory and the sketches I’d made.
I tried not to over think it and just painted with pure joy and highly saturated colour, with no fixed ideas, just shapes that came to me. When I sat back and looked I realised some of the figures looked like mountains, then I saw that actually the figures were kind of piling on top of each other as if they were creating a mountain with their bodies. 
I love it when these things happen organically in a painting without forcing an idea.
