An historic house in Wales. The birthplace of the modern Welsh language. Painted over several days while visiting this amazing place in 2009. Inspired by the paintings of Kyffin Williams I used a single large square profile brush to lay down large blocks of impasto colour to render the buildings, woodland and foreground foliage. I tried to capture the many shades of moss and lichen on the slate, stone and lime render of the house, barn and dry stone wall. Acrylic on deep edged canvas over stretcher type frame.
