A lovely painting, Andrew!!

What an excellent painting Andrew, full of character and story telling! I love Dylan Thomas’s work and you’ve captured the feel and look of the scene and his words. I do like the little details, the washing hanging across the street below, the cat, harbour etc. super!

Just great Andrew. I have the dvd of the last BBC version of Under Milk Wood, we watched it again a couple of nights ago. Packed with great characters. I like your take on it.

Thank you all for the great comments on my picture. I've been a fan of UMW for as long as I can remember and I've wanted to do a painting based on it for years.

What a super painting Andrew; so full of detail! I love the harbour and the curve of the terrace houses, very good. Also, the cat so intent on the seagull!
