Highland Place Chapel, Aberdare


A painting based on a series of sketches. At first starting with charcoal and pastel sketches from life, then to gesture drawings and finally contour drawing and blind contour. This is a painting in oil from memory immediately after finishing the sketches including hopefully some of the energy of the gesture drawings and the lines of the contour.

Nebo Chapel. Hirwaun




Ink and resist on paper of Nebo Chapel,Hirwaun. The yellow is not as green as it appears in this image.
Also a photo collage of Bethania Chapel on Wind St Aberdare. The real thing is much darker, this looks OK.
