This farmhouse is perched overlooking the river Wye in a peaceful area of mid Wales….It is outside the National Park but is under threat from Wind Turbine Factory development on a large scale.Where will we find peace and quiet if we allow this to go ahead.
I decided to alter my method and paint in more of a relaxed way,not drawing before….I’m quite pleased how it has turned out….

You are so talented, Meadow, it's lovely.
Sorry about the turbines. They are all over the Scottish Borders and creeping. I guess we have to make up our minds what is most important to us. I feel the same about the relentless housing developments on greenfield sites.

It’s a lovely painting , I like the relaxed way you have done it. I think it give s us more freedom in our interpretation of the beautiful scenery.
Love Marjorie

Another very lovely painting with subtle, gentle colours. Are you starting another or is the garden calling out to you?!

Its lovely M'land, shame to think of the view being spoilt but I guess its what we call progress...

Julia I can't imagine how you could product this lovely picture without even drawing anything first- its beautiful. Did you do it from a photo, from memory or in the field?

Lovely painting, M,land. I've no idea how noisy wind turbines are, a continuous hum would be awful & deserving of compensation.

It's beautiful Julia! Sadly I didn't get back in to my painting as I have been changing the garden a bit!

Beautiful watercolour, Julia. I think no matter how you paint or produce your artwork, it’s all been wonderful!
It is dreadful to hear of the large turbine factory development in such an area of beauty.
I live close to the Siemens turbine factory here, they produce the blades. We were here first, sadly, it went ahead. However, I guess I chose city life and I just keep thinking the jobs it created - good way of rationalising.
