Capel Curig Snowdonia National Park by Paul Beattie

Hi Paul. Wonderful sky here, lovely painting and a well chosen vantage point. Will you paint more in oils perhaps, now ?

Now you've got the oils out again, Paul, keep 'em out - do more! I remember this area well - spent a horrible, wet fortnight there nearly 50 years ago; the scenery, I recall, was stunning when the cloud lifted. Snag was, it hardly ever did. But that is rather what you expect of mountainous areas - and of Wales, come to that - and I've always wanted to go back and paint it.

I stayed in Betws-y -Coed many years ago while working on a film, we were working quite a way up Mt Snowdon and as Robert said the views are spectacular when the mist lifts, it didn't happen often enough, But your painting is wonderful and I can now see the beauty of the area.

and a great one ,, all the best merry christmas

Great sky...Just love the painting.

Wonderful colours in the sky and the format is great. I like it !

Hi Ruth thank you very much for the comments. I am sure I will use oils more often again, it was so nice to use them after so long. I forgot how wonderful they are!

Hi Robert and thanks very much for the great comments! Yes I will use them more now cheers :)

Thank you very much for the lovely comments William :) What was the movie? So many have been filmed in this area.

Hi Alan and thank you for the comments. Merry Christmas to you also :)

Yu Ping and Avril, thank you both so much for the great feedback on my latest work. It is much appreciated cheers :)

Like everyone else I just love that sky, very atmospheric.

Hi Val and thanks very much for the comments on this oil painting :)

Well done Paul and a good green variation. Familiar place

Hi Neil, thank you very much your comments, even better as you know the area cheers.

Hi Paul , the movie was called 'The Chairman' starring Gregory Peck, I think it may have gone on release as ' The Most Dangerous Man In The World' Why I've no Idea, Snowdonia represented the Russian Chinese border. All probably well before your time : ).1968

Thanks for the info William I was three then ;-)
