Half-term in Wales

Great to be in the country again. The weather was a bit grey and wet for most of it but surprisingly mild for the time of year. We didn't mind a bit as we were all having such a great time relaxing with the Potts at the barn, going on beach walks, feeding the horses and painting in the woods.
The paintings on the left were all painted consecutively from top to bottom. The first is still the best - just worked first time. Really was guerilla painting! Propping the canvas up with twigs on the mossy forest floor or on a picnic bench in a full force gale!

My axing skills are still intact, even with a blunt axe! I forget what a gentle and varied landscape the Llewn pennisular (Anglesey) is.

Light burst 2

Second in the sub-series completed. Caroline thinks they look quite "seventies folk." I go along with her to an extent though they are so much more than that..

In this painting the light is more broken up and it was even more challenging to paint. Maybe the next I'll just paint with my fingers!

Anyone who comes up with the most appropriate acoustic artist who would accompany this painting, can, get a handslap!
