Love the disappearing hills in the distance Mark, they are the perfect backdrop for the tower and all without brushes that is skilful.

When I first saw this, I thought it was ambitious for an on spot work, more so without brushes. I also love Portmeirion and you have caught it's atmosphere so well here.

I painted this in November with the sun in my eyes which is always a challenge, especially when I realised I’d forgotten my brushes. The colour was put on with a bit of sponge and moved around with the end of a pencil. I loved the way the figures walking towards me were back lit.
