sketching from old photos

I have a love of searching through old photos of places I know in times gone by.  That's what I've been doing over the past few weeks.  Here are some of them.

Beach houses Red Wharf Bay, on Anglesey around 1880

Penysarn 1800's

Colwyn Bay pier entrance. One half of the entrance.

Deganwy shore

St. Asaph, The Plough and post office.

Very early picture of St. Asaph

Charles and his mules, Meifod. (is the caption on the photo)

Crossing stones, Llansannon.

Llangar Church. Corwen North Wales

A lovely photograph of this ancient church, taken and posted by https://www.facebook.com/gillian.smith.182940?fref=hovercard, really took my eye. In this coloured sketch, I have tried to capture the spiritual atmosphere of the site.

Sketches of Anglesey.

Recently completed sketches made on Anglesey.

 What a lovely cottage a stones throw from a beautiful beach.  Would love to spend a few days there.

 Further down the road,  I wonder if this is the same cottage....Now I really want to stay there.

A well know establishment near Llanrwst, 'Tu Hwnt I'r Bont'  ( Beyond the Bridge). Amazing colours that change with the seasons.

Two magazines in one day...not bad going!

Out and about sketching...for sale or available to view.

At last I've put this years favourite sketches to print...
