It’s great when the sheep stick around long enough to get themselves in a painting. I had a lovely day last week painting at Mynydd Illtyd, after the mist cleared the light was just perfect.

As we hiked in the dark we could see a glowing haze around us and realised it was the clouds sitting underneath us. I'd been wanting to see a cloud inversion for years so this was a very happy moment

Pen y Fan peak marker sign. 886m, with Hettie's picture and a commemorative stone. Thank you random person for holding the picture for me, it was a bit windy.
Just down from my #charity hike up #penyfan.
Been an amazing 6.5 hour hike and great to watch the sunrise and remeber our Hettie.
It was a very special morning.

View from the South slope of Worcester Beacon towards Perseverance Hill. Gorse and rockky outcrop in the foreground. Very hazy in the distance.
View down a leafy path, sharp contrast between the light and shadows. Looking very green. Walking North towards St Ann's Well

Surprisingly nice day for a training #walk for my #charity hike up #Penyfan in May. 8KM over the #MalvernHills, with a total climb of > 440m. Got some very nice photos along the way. Good Easter trip out!

Been out doing a bit of #training for my #charity hike up #penyfan in May. Not quite a hill walk but this one was 5k, paced fast (50 mins) and had at least a small amount of ascent.

Weekend #training for my #charity climb of #PenYFan in May.
Both walks were only about 3.5km and ... well not really hill walking 😜But was quite pleasant - and I was pushing a pushchair and fielding a Labrador...

My first painting from my trip to the common land around Hay Bluff on Wednesday. I started painting this on with clouds on a blue sky, by the time I’d finished the clouds had filled in.

Im thinking of trying to capture some stars in a dark sky reserve #penYfan, in May. Never done it before. Hope they come out as well as yours. How long was the exposure, what f number etc? (Yes I need to read up on it 😄)
Such a good day today, I visited a farm near Hay to talk about a commission and was treated to a ride around in an old Land Rover with sheep dog.I finished the day by painting below Hay Bluff with Pen y Fan and Cribyn in the distance #art #pleinair #wales #hayonwye #penyfan #oilpainting

Digital flyer showing mountains in the foreground and a sun rise over a lake in the distance. In the very front of the image are white and yellow flowers. Fundraiser for Acorn's Children's Hospice, text reads: Acorns Children’s Hospice aim to make every day a special day for life-limited (terminally ill) children. Can you help ensure they are there when families need them? To raise much needed funds for this amazing charity I’ll be climbing Pen-Y-Fan (the tallest peak in South Wales) over night. Reaching the summit in time to watch the sunrise and remember our daughter Hettie - who’s short life was blessed with the help and support of Acorns
Amazing support so far for my #Charity #Fundraiser in memory of our daughter Hettie - who's life was blessed by Acorn's Children's Hospice, #ThankYou. I'm climbing #PenYFan in #Wales in May as part of an #event to raise money for this amazing charity

Not doing anywhere near enough distance #training for my #nighthike up #PenYFan. So today I thought I would try a short high intensity 15 minute march. Will that work? Probably not but at least I can #feelgood about it 😄
