Pandy cottages, Trelewis.(2003 / 42)
You will find these delightful cottages just off the cycle track in Trelewis. This was sketched and painted on the spot.
Park Bungalow, Nelson
Through the summer a few of the members from the Bargoed art Society gather for a sketching evening.
This is one of the members homes and this is my effort for the hour and a bit we were there.
It will soon be hanging on the wall.
Artist Tom Spencer of Bargoed and district Art Society.
Another sketching evening with the Bargoed members this time at Penallta Park.
Rather than look for a subject I found Tom painting away to his 'Arts' content !
This was nice enough for me - just a quick sketch.
A dis-used railway bridge between Tredomen and Nelson.
I've aquired a new bike, rather my sons throw away. Never the less it gets me about and I
sometimes take a ride along the cycle path towards Nelson. Along the way
there is this old bridge which crossed the railway line to nelson. A nice spot for a rest and some sketching.
Saint Martins Church , Caerphilly
Earlier this year I spent a number of cold Sunday mornings sketching the church. This sketch
is what I am using to complete the oil painting .
Hengoed Viaduct (2003 / 18)
This sketch shows the road between Hengoed and Maesycwmmer. The road goes under the viaduct
and this view shows the road as it exits on the Maesycwmmer side.
The painting of Hengoed Viaduct in Gallery 1 shows the road and bridge as it crosses over the Rhymney river.
