Outdoor / plein air sketch. Tall grass growing on the banks of the river Hafren / Severn (Newtown, Powys, near Hafren School). Pen and ink, watercolour on watercolor card. A result of my day excursions around Newtown.
A little picturesque village along the beach and on the hillside (nicknamed by kids Balamory), river estuary, white sails and a terrific view. Our favourite beach in the area. The original painting have been done on a warm september day in 2008, during low tide, while kids were busy splashing in shallow warm pools. Quite a lot of beach sand turned out to be incorporated in the picture…
After selling the original picture I played a bit with color to make this print more “impressionist”
A large mixed media artwork (painting, drawing, photography, poetry). The original has won an award at Nottingham Society of Artists exhibition few years ago and has been sold.
Featuring one of my favourite places on Earth.
Open to your interpretation.
