Really good Spencer, I can see it being used on a poster.

Stunning work Spencer.

Excellent Painting Spencer, it works really well.

Beautiful 😍

Thank you so much for your kind comments Bob, Peter, Chris, George, Cecilia and Faye. Much appreciated!

Extremely well done indeed Spencer it is spot on . We regularly go to Llan as it is near to us and have been on the tram many times (as well as going up the hard way !) Orme is from the Viking for worm as the Great and Little Orme headlands look like worms jutting out into the sea . The prehistoric copper mines are well worth a visit but NOT if you are claustrophobic

Thank you so much for your great comment Dave and for the information about the Orme - very interesting. Thank you for your lovely comment Christine.

Wow, you've done a great job here Spencer! I don't think it looked as sparkly new as this when I last went on it though : ) Fantastic painting!

Excellent work Spencer 🙂

An excellent painting, the tram so well drawn. An interesting combo of watercolour and acrylic...something I've never tried...great result.

Super work Spencer, you succeeded, it looks very real!

Very good Spencer

This works Spencer, great painting and you have captured the movement very well

Thank you so much for your lovely comments Diane, Stephen, Lewis, Susan, Heather and John.

This is wonderful Spencer, well done.

You have done a brilliant job Spencer! This is up there with your best in my opinion. Really well painted and love the sheen of reflected light on the sides of the tram.

Super work Spencer!

Thank you so much for your most kind comments Denise, David and Paul. I really do appreciate it!

Top drawer Spencer, the sheen on the side of the carriage is superbly painted.

Yes - Great work Spencer.

Thank you for your great comment Shaun. Much appreciated.

Excellent work Spencer. The lettering etc on the tram really impressive

Thank you so much Martin. I only do the fine section on days when my hand doesn’t shake and always have the darker colour to hand to correct any mistakes.

Spencer - that is a fantastic painting - congratulations!!

Love it! The tilt gives such a sense of movement in a confined space.

Excellent work Spencer, i love the colour harmony.

Thank you so much for your kind comments Alix and Michael. Much appreciated.

Like this a lot Spencer. It's very different from much of your work but it's very good.

Thank you Fiona. Your right, it’s not like my normal style which I will be getting back to but it was a nice natural memory to record.

We went to Llandudno, Wales a few weeks ago and watched the tram ascend and descend the Great Orme which is a hill, not quite a mountain on the headland which gives great views over the town and surrounding coastline. I’ve painted this in watercolour and acrylic over quite a few weeks and tried to make it look as real as possible. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t!

I only took up painting during the lockdown so a lot of my work is experimental trying to find out what techniques work well for me. Decades ago I trained as a Primary School teacher with art and design as one of my subjects but textiles was my main area of work. I enjoy painting and drawing but am…
