Dam and Stone Circle oil on canvas 7x10" went with Rene to the Elan valley reservoirs for a real challenge,painting the dams...
it was soooo windy,my easel blew over three times and one of the legs broke,
i was sweating and swearing,really swearing,
not realizing some people were watching me from behind!
they smiled politely and quickly left....aaaargh
so what does Rene do when it is really windy? yes paint on top of a hill...

A very complicated painting day, but watching the landscapes, it was worth the sufferings. My favorite is the first.
A pity the broken leg of the easel.
Sorry about that easel leg, Rob. Maybe that's a good excuse for a new one? Your last several paintings are full of life, wonderful. And I can tell you're having a blast with Rene' being there. So he let the cows out, did he. :)
what a beautiful inviting painting... I also love 'Pembrokeshire'... really cool
The Elan Valley is my sort of country - rugged and dramatic.
You did a wonderful job in the tough conditions. I really like the second painting for the colour and composition and the sense of movement in the water.
pablo i was happy to have just survived that day...had a cold too,blah!
its ok dianne,got a spare tripod at home...i can tell you rene is a bag of trouble!
