St Elvan's Sketch

Mixed media sketch of St Elvan's tower and spire. Approx 8" x 5" on paper.

Exhibition at Cynon Valley Museum

Here are the finished images, framed and stuck on the wall. I think these are my favourites. Thanks to the museum for loan of frames and hanging them well.

St Elvan's Church

Its difficult to ignore this building, on a hill right in the middle of Aberdare. However unless your in a helicopter its also impossible to see the whole thing because its surrounded by buildings. This is a large acrylic collage sketch, not yet stuck down so it will probably change again.
