I marched out of the house this morning to get some plein air studies done of the horsefields around Belvedere. I even moet the owner of the the land and horses, he said his father owned the land sibnce the 50's, what a heritage to retain!!
Both lasted a hour each. it was a nice experience and I'll love to keep this going.
Some pictures of me sketching the Welsh landscapes!

This is the final one I did. This was my best view yet! Just pure undefiled landscape. Its here you can really appreciate the beauty of God's creative power and beauty! This one was very small again for approximately one hour.
There were even sheep grazing and bleating, birds singing ohhh I'm lost for words!
WELSH LANDSCAPES III and IV watercolour studies

These two were done from my room window. The sun was blazing and It was so hot I couldn't bear to go out. I also wanted to avoid the wonderful kids who would all crowd round if I went directly outside. Again its one hour for each study. I really enjoy this. it is actually the first time I work on landscapes constantly for 3 days going. This may be a new chapter opening in my life!
WELSH LANDSCAPE II watercolour studies

This was a very foggy morning. I go right back to the spot I was yesterday. I see these trees, they look brilliant! The darks between them are rich and the light seeping through is mysterious I love it. One hour again! I almost kill this one because the light kept and changing and I was tempted to keep changing the colours.
