Another iconic view of Aberystwyth coast, with a stunning sunset.

Lockdown proved an even less stimulating time for art in the form of painting. We had just started back to Art Club Ponterwyd after the winter break when it happened.
I had an invitation from Cefn Croes Winfarm Trust to trial meetings on Zoom. Trepidation followed, I love ICT but am always wary of new innovations. I canvassed the membership, got invitations sent out and panicked. Now friends from my teaching days may not associate that word with me, I was always good at hiding panic. The meeting drew near and it worked. Basically we had a verbal ball. We talked about the future and I set a challenge. Inside outside picture medium of individual choice. Taken from work I had seen by David Hockney and Cornish artist Sarah Bowman.
I set the challenge so I had to do the work too. I started with my little blue jug from the windowsill.
I enjoyed this more than anything I have done before and I think it shows. Varnish has brought the colours alive.

A church I love, even though it has many sad memories.
