If you’ve never ventured into Wales from England, Scotland or Ireland, do so, immediately! If you are a fan of natural beauty and our earth’s glory, the gorgeous and rugged terrain is something you won’t want to miss.
My better half and I drove straight through the country from the border of England to the Atlantic Coast, halting in Barmouth to visit family there. Though way too short, the ride was stunning and I took zillions of photos from my passenger’s seat with the intention of doing a series of paintings on this lush countryside one day. Stay tuned for those, but for now, here are a few examples:
One of the beautiful churches we passed along the way.
The Brecon Beacons mountain range enveloped us much of the way.
This and other landscapes made me think of JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Wales is so utterly beautiful!
So paintworthy, this with it’s great foreground, patchwork of different plots and dramatic sky!
Sheep are prevalent, dotting the countryside as offwhite balls against the verdant grasses.
The dam at Llyn Clywedog in Northern Wales. Gorgeous and serves an important purpose feeding the Severn and protecting the valleys below from flooding.

Contemporary artist, seeker, writer. Curious to a fault. My muse(s) and the fates take me where they will. I never say no to an adventure, a trait that has led me on some heart-stirring journeys. I regret nothing.
