Mountain Rescue is a sublime grey landscape. paintings of social comment Neil McBride has a wellThe beginning of a perilous mountain rescue in the heart of the English Lake District. A small crowd of people are gathered in the bottom right of this sublime grey landscape in preparation of the ascent of the mountain.
