Dinefwr Castle - from the Deer Park 13th July 2016


Today promised to be dry and sunny so I packed the car put Jac in the back and made my way to Llandeilo. There is a nice view of Dinefwr Castle I wanted to do from the Deer Park. When we got there it was predictably colder and windier than would have been perfect but can't complain. The conditions were pretty good. I started by washing over a partial ground of yellow ochre and turps then drew in the boundaries of the castle skyline and trees with burnt umber and turps et voila away we go. 

Jac in the meantime had gone for a good walk with my sister around the estate. So a pleasant tiime was had by all.

July 6th 2016 - Druidstone Beach


We had to go down to Pembrokeshire today so I took the opportunity to get a painting done on the beach at Druidstone. I have done a couple of Druidstone before. It is a place we like and have camped here a few times. Things went okay other than I forgot my glasses! Still it turned out okay and Jac had a good run/swim.



Afterwards we went and had lunch at Druidstone Hotel on the cliff. So a nice day all round.
