Super painting David.

I like these old petrol stations and a very good sketch it is too

Great character sketch of a sad old scene! We had a lovely holiday in Nefyn many years ago. Great area, when the weather is good at least.

Thank you both, glad you like it. Yes, Bobbie, I love walking around the old streets of Nefyn imagining how it used to be, and, Willie, it's because the marks and colours are made by a tired, aged painter.
