Cwm Cynfal, Oil on canvas

In Snowdonia, there is a Cwm which provides escape from the modern world. One of the last remaining temperate rainforrests in the UK. A home to rare mosses, lichens, liverworts and birds.

A magical place where the water has carved out beautiful cauldron like shapes into rock faces after a storm. Although I have not experienced this after a storm I would imagine it is quite noisy when the river charges through this narrow cwm to the valley bellow.

The water has a peat like appearancd the dark reddy / brown but clear. The sunlight finds its way through canopy above in places highlighting and strengthening colours.

I enjoyed painting here. Prints are also availiable of the majority of mh paintings.

Please just message directly or comment below if you have any questions.

Have you crossed Crib Goch in winter conditions?

Have we seen the last of the snow for another year?

The day I stood on top of the mountain was cold, really cold. There was no one around, no footprints, tracks and paths covered, behind me the cloud rolled in, however for just a few minutes I enjoyed this view before I was engulfed with a whiteout. I knew it was time to descend!

Who else has experienced mountains in these winter conditions? Its really special isn't it!

The last working slate quarry south of Blaenau Festinniog.. Foel Grochan os one of those places. Now closed understandably due to its popularity and dangerous nature.

The light in there is amazing. Nature is slowly reclaiming this industrial past. For me it involved a seven hour trip years ago recording some of its beauty and detail involving ladders, aerial walkways and pits the size of four cathedrals. There is a brilliant book by Jon Knowles on the quarry for those interested it its history.

This particular sketch i tried to catch the unusual light created from the vertical shaft above.

The view from Y Garn on a really windy day! Painted from memory.

Oil on board

The visibility was brilliant and you could see all the way through Ogwen Valley with Tryfan in the distance.

Looking forwards to more adventures next week and painting outside as the weather improves and hands don't freeze in the elements!

The view of Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon is special but fewer people have seen it from Lliwedd.

That day we needed full winter kit. The weather turned for the worse throughout the say til it reached full blizzard conditons making descent treacherous. Before this however the sun shone just for a few seconds on Yr Wyddfa.

I hope you like it. ⛰️🎨👩‍🎨

New shop on website coming soon.

Finished this one at last! This will feature in my museum solo show soon (details to follow).

I thought Spring was here but woke to snow capped mountains this morning. Snowy scenes have always been something i have found difficult to paint. Not only because painting from life is a massive challenge because conditions can be harsh, but from the point , some colours are really hard to mix or even obtain.

This was Inspired by Akseli Gallen-Kallela who painted Lake Keitele which is hung in the Impressionist section @nationalgallery. I used to stand in front of this painting on school trips. It just used to glow in front of me. The light is superb. I have always wondered or aspired to paint like this and to obtain that glow in my work.

The last painting on the easel for next months exhibition at Penyscyhnant. Cannot wait to share framed paintings with you all.

I have always been captivated by reflections. Not far from the binocular caves in Eryri there is a beautiful swamp, if you catch it at the right time of day the sunshine illuminates the quarry and casts beautiful reflections of the trees across the water.

I will announce more about the exhibition next week.

Another forrest painting started on the easel! 🎨

Where do you go to escape? This is one of my favourite places. I love sitting by waterfalls especially in the mountains!

Now for coffee!

I have painted very few forrests but after visiting Cwm Cynfal in Snowdonia a few weeks ago I realise that I have totally fallen for this beautiful temperate rainforest.

I spent hours there on my own phorographing and recording its beauty. The birds sang, the river roared through the gorge falling from pool to pool. The place reminded me of my childhood in Devon swimming in the river dart on Dartmoor.

This place is far more remote. I never saw a soul. I find it really sad that it is underthreat from a proposed hydro scheme.

This painting is the first of many of Cwm Cynfall and will be exhibited at Penyscyhnant Conservation Centre in April and May.

I am delighted to be exhibiting there!

Now back to painting!

More rock formations on the Glyders!

Castell y Gwynt or Castle of the winds is the only Welsh 3000ft mountain to be classed as a Nuttall. Its beautiful both in the summer and in winter conditions. Good navigation skills are needed in bad visibility.

Its always windy up there. I have been lucky enough to have been up there many times jver the last four years.

A bit of a scramble to stand on the top though! 🧗‍♂️

Rock Formations on Glyderau, oil on canvas.

---‐----‐----------------------------------------------------

Glyder Fawr in Eryri / Snowdonia has some beautiful rock formations. It involves a bit of scrambling or a steep walk to get there.

It is one of many rock formations forming the Glyderau Mountain Range. Many people visit this every year to visit this moonscape.

After Snowdon / Yr Wyddfa and Tryfan, it is probably the next most popular place for walking. The views are amazing on a clear day!

I have been lucky to experience it in beautiful sunshine, fog, rain, and whiteout conditions.

I am pleased to offer walks as a qualified mountain leader throughout the Spring / Summer and Autumn in 2026.

Painting a cloud inversion

I am pleased to announce that I have been back in the studio after breaking my wrist!

I really enjoyed painting this study for a larger painting.

Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon is Wales' highest mountain ⛰️

I am lucky enough to have been there many times and it is one of my favourite places.

To capture an inversion when the clouds ⛅️ look like candyfloss and below the summit is truly magical.

Prints are available via my website from Monday.

A broken arm adventure exploring Gogarth!
I have a dream to climb and paint there more as soon as limb heals.

I managed to scramble down to the promontory to look at a Dream of White Horses. It's been a while since I have thought about serious seacliff climbs.

Until then physio, rest, research and occasional field trips are needed.

Disclaimer. Please do not attempt to go on expeditions without the right skills or two broken arms as I am not sure it will be possible!
