Blaenau Ffestiniog


Spent a wet week in Wales recently and whilst there sketched in pen from a hotel restaurant window the sheer hillside with a small tree clinging to the top.

Last night created this painting from the sketch and memories of the day. Decided against a cold grey sky.

en plein air sketch


Painted this last Sunday morning when the seas were crashing against the rocks on this part of the North east coast in England.

Took about 90 minutes to paint just before the sun went in.
