On The Great Orme, Late Summer
This is still on the easel awaiting a few final touches, but I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out. After a rubbish summer in the UK, we took a trip to Llandudno and we had this glorious weather. There were seal pups playing in the water, but, alas, they're too small to paint in this picture
