I’ve painted this view a few times this year and it always changes, there was a beautiful autumn light and colour on this October day for a bit of plein air painting.

Chasing the Autumnal colours again today in Pontypool Park this afternoon.
The Cherry Trees have a beautiful display of pink blossom in the Spring, so it’s a bonus to paint them again when they briefly have red/orange foliage.

It’s no secret that I love painting Barry Island and can’t resist painting it. This was a lovely day with the tide in and waves lapping around the rocks. I’ve just added this painting to my website but it will take a couple more weeks to dry

On Wednesday I painted the trees on Castle Meadows Abergavenny and the Blorenge both starting to show their autumnal colours. I’m hoping to do more autumnal painting this week if the fog clears.

With the persistent grey gloom for the last week I was very happy to find these Acers in Cefn Onn Parc today, they seemed to generate they’re own illumination. Perfectly Autumnal

Last week I spent a morning painting at Fochriw, on the edge of Gelligaer Common and not far from the Heads of the Valleys it has a large expanse of grassland before the village that catches the light perfectly

I painted one of my favourite views of Cantref Reservoir this afternoon, looks idyllic, however I just wish people wouldn’t spoil it by dumping their rubbish. To be honest it’s usually worse at this spot and I often come home with other peoples rubbish.

It’s great when the sheep stick around long enough to get themselves in a painting. I had a lovely day last week painting at Mynydd Illtyd, after the mist cleared the light was just perfect.

It's nearly Food Festival Weekend!
It's always great to see Abergavenny fill up with gazebos, visitors and all sorts of food, so my studio will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I wanted to catch the last of the heather before it fades so I popped out on Wednesday, I kept having to stop painting as showers passed through but it was very enjoyable.
