The Fairy Pools- Isle of Skye
On a serene April evening, we revisited the Fairy Pools in Glen Brittle, Isle of Skye, after over two decades. The area, offering pay and display parking and café facilities nearby, has grown popular, attracting many visitors. Our journey featured a simple round-trip hike along well-maintained paths, capturing the enchanting scenery and waterfalls. The tranquility of fewer tourists and the absence of midges enhanced our experience, allowing us to photograph the stunning landscapes, including the famous pools against a backdrop of fading evening light.
2024 Show Season Cancelled
Andy and Esther have decided to significantly reduce their participation in the 2024 show season, attending only about 5 out of the originally planned 40 days. This decision, prompted by commercial reasons and not enough new artwork from Andy, aims to refocus on producing quality paintings and expanding brand awareness through other projects, like new content for Andy’s YouTube channel and books. They plan a strong return in 2025 with new artwork and request support from their followers to maintain brand visibility online during this period.

Sale Fell and Ling Fell in one
Andy Beck undertook a figure of eight walk on February 29, 2012, through two lesser-known fells—Sale Fell and Ling Fell—in the Lake District’s North Western area for his Wainwrights in Colour project. Starting from Brumston Bridge, he documented his journey using a Samsung WB500 camera. This easy route can also be divided into separate walks for each fell, making it suitable for families. Andy’s path included scenic views and notable landmarks such as Dodd Crag and old grouse butts, ultimately returning to the starting point.
