A couple of weeks ago I visited @workersgallery near Porth, I also took the opportunity to paint at Trehafod, it was very murky with heavy rain so I had to find a close-up view. So these winding gears were perfect, I treated it as a quick sketch and not get to engulfed in the detail.

This one is from a lovely walk last summer, Stackpole to Bosherston via Barafundle and Broadhaven. It’s definitely one of my favourite walks. You can only see seven of the eight arches from this angle.

One of my bluebell paintings from last year, it was a great bluebell season and I’m really looking forward to them arriving this year. Fingers crossed the weather cooperates again.

I won!
I received the fantastic news yesterday that my painting of Solva won the British Contemporary Art Award and I’m absolutely thrilled and it certainly brightened up a dreary day in January.
Thank you to everyone who voted for my painting to get through to the final jury stage.

A day of torrential rain and my car in the garage means a day at home painting tulips.
Really love the reaching droop of these tulips that bought from ivyandrose_florist in Abergavenny yesterday

Last week I took advantage of the frozen temperatures and snow, I headed to Keepers Pond on the Blorenge, there had been snow earlier in the week which had thawed quite a lot but the pond was frozen. It was a colourful view, tricky to show the ice on the pond but an enjoyable painting session anyway

Snow! Just enough for a good covering but not enough to get stuck indoors.
So this morning I headed up the Blorenge to paint the snow covered hills, they were a little less snow covered than I would have liked but it was a nice challenge painting the mix of snow, frost and thaw.

Chasing the Autumnal colours again today in Pontypool Park this afternoon.
The Cherry Trees have a beautiful display of pink blossom in the Spring, so it’s a bonus to paint them again when they briefly have red/orange foliage.

It’s no secret that I love painting Barry Island and can’t resist painting it. This was a lovely day with the tide in and waves lapping around the rocks. I’ve just added this painting to my website but it will take a couple more weeks to dry

On Wednesday I painted the trees on Castle Meadows Abergavenny and the Blorenge both starting to show their autumnal colours. I’m hoping to do more autumnal painting this week if the fog clears.
