'Welsh Country House'

Like the atmosphere in this; you've made it a little like Dracula's country retreat ... which I rather like. I also like your touch with the brush, the way you use dry-ish paint to sweep over previous layers, giving texture and interest in the brush stroke itself.

Thanks Robert! For me the surface and texture of the paint are just as important as the image portrayed. By layering up paint it hopefully indicates the element of time and history... Martin (cobbybrook)

Exactly. My feeling too!

You have portrayed this well. Grandeur past. Also 'spooky'.

Thank you Carole! It has come across rather spooky, even though the place is a delight and not scary at all...
