A Wet Walk in the Elan Valley

£300.00

58x77cm

Acrylic on ply

This painting was based on an atmospheric photograph I took on a walk in the Elan Valley in February, during a very prolonged wet period. The path had become a stream. I loved the sombre mood and the muted colours, particularly of the dead bracken and the moss and lichen growing on the rocks

I completed a foundation course in art and design at Doncaster College on leaving school, with a view to a career in illustration. Instead I did a degree in Media and Production Design at the London College of printing, then entered a publishing design job. For seventeen years I have been self employed doing property maintenance in and around Cardiff.
A couple of years back I had to have foot surgery, which required a long recuperation period. In order to occupy my time I took up the paint brushes again for the first time in 30 years. I instantly fell back in love! I mainly paint Welsh landscapes
