Watercolour of Ffestiniog Railway, on Millford paper using Daniel Smith and Schmincke watercolour. 72 x 35 cm. Using photos I took in 2018. "Hello Mark", said the driver and I took this photo. I was painting plein air but he couldn't leave David Lloyd George here for long enough to paint, the angles were terrific. Everyone was in Victorian costume. Just got round to painting it.
