Bogwood: A small wood about ¼ mile from our house. A haven for wildlife and a place to sit quietly and enjoy whatever mystery unfolds that day. In 2019 there was an abundance of Ringlets and a rhythm in the undergrowth which led to this painting.

Elders, or ‘Fairy Trees’ are always pushing up into the quiet corners around our house, and every year I marvel at the honeyed aroma and delicacy of the umbels of white flowers – as well as the harvest that follows.

Eyarth Rocks: A Butterfly Reserve near Ruthin with Limestone Crags and amazing twisted Elms, Yews and Elders. In this particular spring however, the Hawthorns were the stars of the show, clotted with blossom and dripping with nectar – and fragments of limestone everywhere underfoot.

This painting stems from my fascination with the constant stream of people, from all walks of life, who are attracted to such a mountain; some come to gaze while others need to get to the top. Many jugs, also from far and wide, have ended up in our house and studio, and these vessels have been used in several paintings.

From Walther Vander Vogelweide
Near Llangwm, in an otherwise unremarkable pasture, four Limes grow closely, forming a tight square. Every year there is a fresh covering of intense green and a constant hum from the bees, plundering treasure. Embedded in the branches of one tree a horseshoe is slowly being absorbed. A sense of mystery pervades.

In 1965 the Tryweryn valley and the village of Capel Celyn was drowned to provide water for Liverpool, and the reservoir, Llyn Celyn, was created. The railway was closed and many people lost their homes, but occasionally, when the water level is very low, traces of the village can still be seen.

"The Eisteddfod Genedlaethol is that explosion of music, poetry, theatre, art and literature that erupts every year somewhere in Wales. In 2019 it was almost on our doorstep, and hence the starting point for this painting.
The tiny cinema tent was showing a film on climate change and there is a bell to call time (referencing a celebration of El Bandito, a local wrestling hero) but are enough people listening?"
