            Acyylic on MDF size 16 x 24 inches.

            painting based on black and white photo that i took in 1958,It shows our climbing cottage that i shared with a few friends.it was in poor condition and the farmer that owned it only visited about twice a year to attend to his sheep so he let us have it rent free provided we repaired it and kept it maintained.

            C&C welcome.

            Nice work. The roof has taken a beating.

                A strong composition. I like how the hill on the left and the house lead you into the picture.

                                    Thank you Michelle,it was and still is a lovely place,We stopped using it in the middle 1960’s and it started to rot away,about 1995 i took my wife for a visit and i was shocked to see a total ruin with out a roof,however since then somebody bought it it and done a great job of rebuilding it as it was and now hires it out to people and parties,it is still    difficult to reach and you need a 4 wheel drive motor to reach it,When we used to go there we went on our motor bikes.

                                        Thanks Maureen,we only used this cottage when climbing in Snowdonia but still used our tents when climbing in other regions around the UK.

                                            Such a pleasant looking spot and you painted it well.
