It’s about time I joined in with a Davis art share!
Hi I’m Jen & I work traditionally with pencil & paper, sometimes ink & watercolours happen. It’s a bit sporadic at the moment & I will get back to drawing soon, if the day job ever lets up

A couple of weeks ago I visited @workersgallery near Porth, I also took the opportunity to paint at Trehafod, it was very murky with heavy rain so I had to find a close-up view. So these winding gears were perfect, I treated it as a quick sketch and not get to engulfed in the detail.
