''The most remote phone box in Wales'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 unframed As phone boxes go you don't get much more remote than this one here in Ceredigion Wales. It's on the road from Tregaron to Abergwesyn ( called the mountain road ) and is known as the Cefn cerrig Telefon. Not only is the phone a lifeline for the remote farms in the area, but it's a fantastic spot to stop for a sandwich and a cup of tea... that's what I did.
''Storm a Strumble lighthouse'' Oil on canvas 24'' by 18''. £245 unframed I've painted Strumble lighthouse in Pembrokeshire before but this time there was a gathering storm out at sea. The purple / blue clouds looming in from the west give this welsh landscape painting very wild and dramatic feel.
''Foel Eryr rocks - Preseli mountain'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 unframed If you drive from Cardigan to Haverfordwest over the Preseli mountain you'll go past this scene, but these are not standing stones, they are rocks left in this peculiar formation by the activity from the last ice age. I spent a wonderful afternoon up here listening to Skylarks and taking photographs.
''Ceibwr Bay coast path'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 unframed Ceibwr bay on the Pembrokeshire coast is a beautifully rugged and wild place to spend some time and if you walk south along the coast path for half a mile or so then turn around and look north you'll see this view. The day I was there the sky was full of bird life enjoying the updraft provided by the sheer Welsh cliffs.
''Sunlit corner - Llanfyrnach'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 unframed I was driving along up in the Preseli and saw this scene in my rearview mirror after I'd driven around the bend, I had to jump out quickly and take a photograph which I used for reference for this painting.
''Newport Parrog slipway'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 unframed The village of Newport in Pembrokeshire West Wales sits between the mountain of Carningli and the sea. This is the view looking down one of the slipways in the harbour which, when wind and tides allow, can be mirror calm.
''Fishing boats at Gwbert on sea'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 unframed I was walking along the side of the Gwbert estuary and saw this scene, a man working on his boat. I took a quick photograph and worked from that and my memory to produce this painting.
''Teifi Estuary - Ceredigion'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 unframed This is a painting of the view over looking the Teifi estuary a little way inland from Poppit beach very near to The Webley Hotel. The sea mist comes in thick and fast here and can be quite dramatic at times.
''Rhydowen - Preseli mountains'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 unframed This landscape painting of Pembrokeshire is the little village of Rhydowen in the Preseli hills. I was stuck by the small out building and it's bright red door and just had to paint it.
''Saint Dogmaels riverside'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 unframed Situated on the side of the river Teifi here in Pembrokeshire Saint Dogmaels in a very picturesque village and the site of a ruined monastery.
''View to Frenni Fawr - Preseli Mountain'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. ( SOLD ) This is another welsh landscape painting. I love the quiet roads up on the Preseli hills, and whilst up there the only sound to be heard was an occasional ewe bleating. A beautiful spot indeed.
''Cardigan Island - Ceredigion'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 unframed This landscape painting of Cardigan Island in the view from over the other side of the river Teifi near to Poppit beach. The Cliff Hotel stands on the headland and looks across to the Island on the far left.
''Pembrokeshire landscape'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 Unframed. If you drive from Crymych to Rosebush in the Preseli mountains you'll pass this little landscape scene. I saw the way the sun was hitting the little stone out building and the farm house and just had to paint it.
''Doethie valley gathering'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 Unframed. This is a scene high up in the Cambrian mountains of mid Wales, welsh art. This old cart track heads on up the Doethie valley and beyond. Once this area was dotted with numerous small farms, but most now lay abandoned and ruined as farming has changed over time making small holdings unviable, the land being absorbed by the few larger farms that remain.
''Newport parrog'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. ( SOLD ) Newport in Pembrokeshire is a busy place in the summer months with its idyllic setting under the shadow of Carn Ingli and with it's huge beach and beautiful harbour. This landscape painting is the view is from the bottom of the boat ramp looking south towards Dinas head in the distance.
''Fishguard fishermen'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 Unframed. I spent a lovely afternoon just exploring, taking lots of photographs and watching the fishermen working here at Fishguard lower harbour. On a bright summers day there's no better place to be.
''Doethie Valley from Ty'n cornel - Cambrian mountains'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. ( SOLD ) High up in the Cambrian mountains of mid Wales there's a hostel called Ty'n Cornel ( The most remote hostel in Wales! ). It's one of two hostel run by Elenydd Wilderness Hostels Trust and this is the view from the car park looking on up the Doethie valley, a remote and beautiful place.
''Cardigan bridge'' Oil on canvas 24'' by 18''. ( SOLD ) I love paintings of bridges, this is a painting of the old Welsh stone bridge here in Cardigan town in Ceredigion. The stone structure you can glimpse on the very right of the painting is Cardigan castle, which over looks the bridge.
''Boats at Cardigan bridge'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 Unframed. This view is from Cardigan bridge looking down the river Teifi towards St Dogmaels. The boats are tied-up along side the old mercantile warehouses.
''Strumble lighthouse - Pembrokeshire'' Oil on canvas 24'' by 18''. ( SOLD ) This is my second Strumble lighthouse painting and very much Pembrokeshire art. It's a fantastically wild place and this view can be seen from the disused world war 2 look-out installation that's used by ornithologists to keep track of migrating birds.
''Fishguard harbour - Pembrokeshire'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. £145 Unframed. If you've ever been to Fishguard in west Wales you'll have seen this view of lower harbour. A beautiful part of Pembrokeshire and an Welsh artists paradise.
"Curious cow" Oil on canvas 24'' by 18''. £215 Unframed. I was trying to capture the ''Who are you and what do you want?'' look with this cow painting. ( Ref photo courtesy of 'Angeltreats' )
''Tafarn Bwlch - Preseli Mountain'' Oil on canvas 16'' by 12''. ( SOLD ) This Welsh painting is of two derelict farm houses on the road leading over the Preseli mountains south. I went back to the spot couple of times to get the bright early morning sun coming in from the left to highlight the building as I wanted it. |
