Cirencester Camp Site 9th June 2016



We have been away for a couple of weeks the weather was hit and miss but the first couple of days were good and alex asked me to do a painting of our motorhome. It is getting on and will soon be a classic. Nevertheless we love it and it can carry everything we need and take us around the country. So I guess it warranted a picture and it was something different. So I found a shady spot and set about it spending a couple of pleasant hours capturing "Myfanwy". The following day I added Alex and Jac to it and a couple of pigeons oh and a baby rabbit.

Saturday 4th June 2016 - Nantgarredig Bridge over the Towy


I hadn't expected to go out and paint today but I found myself with a few hours to spare and it was warm and dry so!

I wasn't quite sure where to go but I had a couple of ideas. It just depended if I could find somewhere to park. The first stop was Nantgarredig a village down the road from Carmarthen and the pull-in by the river bridge was free so happy days.

I set up and started out with wet turps and blocked in the bridge adding more medium as I built it up. I then did the trees and sky finishing with the river last.


A pleasant couple of hours with no issues.
