we took the kids to a lovely little place near between New Quay and Aberaeron, had it been sunny and warm it would have been heavenly as the beach was perfect, the cliff, rock pools hills etc etc … just so beautiful. The cottages are painted all colours from deepest reds through the New England pastels to vivid primary colours, the traditional Welsh stone ones looked pretty dull in comparison! it’s a part of the country we have never ventured to but it’s only 3hrs away and that’s in ‘Alan’, our fab old hymer campervan. I did loads of sketching and have plans for some big paintings -although I will add the sunshine I think! I got back to see the high St is chaos again with road works right outside the studio… joy… I will be there tho as I have 2 huge commissions to complete by next fri.
