Have dragged my big easel from the half mile top of the garden  out of Sylvs shed.. now set up  in my kitchen, warm and cosy... started this which hopefully will turn out to be  Crib Goch , the  hard way up Snowdon.  I did climb it a million years  ago have the pic somewhere. Acrylic  on Gerstaecker , lovely deep edged board.    . We shall see.

Like the marks you have made already Sylvia, will you call it Snowden or use the new Welsh name .

Yr Wyddfa is the original Welsh it's not new.  Snowdon is what the rest of us call it. No this is Crib Goch it's a ridge and one of the routes to Snowdon ,that is the peak on the right . Just spent another hour whilst I wait for Lenny ( the babe in Marjorie's painting) all grown up now.  I'm enjoying the doing of it. Trying to work our the size of a figure  in the foreground..,

You've made me wonder where is this mountain about Sylvia, so I did ask uncle Google who knows almost everything  ;) Crib Goch is described as a "knife-edged" arête in the Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd, Wales. The name means "red ridge" in the Welsh language. I love mountains, but very rarely I'm visiting any. I'm keep waiting for the good moment, when my credits get paid off  ;) I like that you've started painting, and working on it bit by bit in the main-time while awaiting for Lenny  ;)

I never climbed it - God alone no!  But I have seen it.  Through cloud; and rain; mist; fog - and then the skies cleared, and it's magnificent.

I do adore your sense of humor ;) It's the way I'm looking at myself - turned 50, but struggling to grown up ;)
