Paxtons Folly from Dryslwyn. Watercolour. Sketched in a light drizzle which accounts for the funny blotches in the sky.
We have just got back from a week long holiday in the Towy Valley near Carmarthen in West Wales. An area I know well as I spent my student days here. This was my first visit back in over ten years but the landscape is still very much as I remembered it. We travelled down through the hills and valleys of Mid Wales in glorious sunshine and then woke on the first morning to a day of rain.
The view from the kitchen window of our cottage. Drawn at 7pm in the evening after the day long rain finally stopped. Watercolour.
The second day broke with better weather and these Ravens tumbling a welcome in the sky over the cottage. Pen and Ink.
Red Kite. Pen and Ink.

Such a lovely account in sketches of your holiday. The Red Kites are excellent.
Well done for persevering with the Paxton's Folly sketch. It turned out nice in the end - the sketch, not the weather!
