The first of my Anglesey works shows a little old disused cottage that we found on our travels through the heart of the island. My shouted 'oh look at that seriously cute cottage' had Keith screeching to an abrupt halt so I could make a quick sketch and take some photos. It's just as well that this was in a quiet country lane.
I went back to watercolours for this, with some penwork for detailing.
Approx.11x8 inches.

Gillian, it's a beauty! You have caught the essence of Anglesey so well. I "google-mapped" the area, because the name tickled my memory about the island, and the last stand of the Druids. You really have done this scene credit! I especially like the melting colors of the roof and the building on the right.
This is quite delightful, Gillian, full of character and freshness. As usual, you show excellent composition skills.
This is absolutely beautiful! The colors are perfect and composition so inviting. I really love it. By the way you have your husband well trained!
Gillian, I so love your watercolors, as you know. This is gorgeous! I think you'd be fabulous fun to go on a walk with.
Yeesh, Gillian. Didn't pay attention as to whether my comment took. So? I'm commenting again. I always love your watercolors and this is no exception. It is stunning (and that roof on the cottage is fabulous).
I just love tumble down places, great colours on the roof, you certainly did it justice!
Very nice...lots of depth.
Beautiful watercolor sketch. I love your vibrant colors.
Wonderful work!
I too love old walls and tumble down buildings. A beautiful painting that really shouts autumn. It made me smile and really think Wales too with that gorgeous wall :)
Beautiful picture. Lucky you to have a husband who will "brakes for art scenes"!
Beautifully done. Love the rocks!
beautiful watercolor, I like : )
Gostei muito do que vi. Os seus trabalhos são belos.
