“Cors Caron Cows”
Acrylic on Canvas
407 mm x 305 mm
(16 x 12 inches)
FRAMED
Price: GBP 275.00
About the Painting: “Cors Caron Cows”
Cors Caron translates as Tregaron Bog and it is understood to be Europe’s oldest Peat Bog although the digging for peat now is strictly prohibitive. Instead the land is now a famous Nature Reserve where farm animals mingle on its periphery with the indigenous wild life. This farming painting is framed. The original sunsets paintings of “Cows Drinking” will show you a different perspective of the landscape.
“Cwmmynach Winter Sun”
Acrylic on Paper
267 mm x 178 mm
(10.51 x 7.00 inches)
Price: Please Enquire
About the Painting: “Cwmmynach Winter Sun”
“Cwm Mynach” is Welsh, meaning “Valley of the Monk” and it is the name of the farm shown in this snow farm painting. The perspective shows you the back of the farm from one of the rear paddocks which is generally used for sheep grazing. The blue shadows on the right foreground are cast by a small copse. Be sure to see the other farming paintings of Wales on this page and especially the one called “Above Cwmmynach”.
“Above Cwmmynach”
Oil Pastel on Card
253 mm x 187 mm
(9.96 x 7.36 inches)
Price: GBP 95.00
About the Painting: “Above Cwmmynach”
This is another, albeit distant, view of the farming painting entitled “Cwmmynach Winter Sun” and shown at the top of this page. It shows a closer view of the farm buildings and which in this picture (to the right) are clearly seen in the middle distance. This painting had to be achieved very quickly primarily because the freezing cold Winter’s day was playing havoc with my fingers and my oil pastels! The distant hills follow the same latitude as the original landscape paintings of “Cellan” and “Llanwnnen”.
“Capeli Farm Tractor”
Acrylic on Canvas
250 mm x 180 mm
(9.76 x 7.13 inches)
Price: GBP 65.00
About the Painting: “Capeli Farm Tractor”
This farming paintings scene shows a farmer seed drilling a field in the foothills of the Cambrian mountains in mid-West Wales. You can see that the Capeli Farm tractor is creating a dust cloud behind itself and that the flying seagulls are hoping to find something edible. Succinct views of the Cambrian’s are shown on the original landscape paintings category. Other mountain paintings are not limited to Wales.
“Capeli Farm”
Acrylic on Canvas
610 mm x 508 mm
(24 X 20 inches)
About the Painting: “Capeli Farm”
This painting of a farm in Wales was commissioned by the owner of this farm. One of the original woodlands paintings is on Capeli’s farm land plus two others from the contemporary abstract paintings series. In this Capeli Farm painting, you can see the farm house, grain store and cow sheds. The field in the foreground is growing Barley for Winter cattle feed. Capeli farm is famous for holding the annual British Sheep Shearing contest every mid July.
“Caerfoel”
Pen, Ink + Crayon on Card
280 mm x 188 mm
(11.02 x 7.40 inches)
Price: Not for Sale.
About the Painting: “Caerfoel”
This hill farming painting shows another neighbouring farm during an early April. It is located on the hill behind Cwmmynach farm and it is just out of view (on the right) in the “Above Cwmmynach” painting. The viewpoint is from a small green field. I decided to use pen and ink with crayon to pick out all the building shapes so that you, the viewer, are able to see them clearly. Caerfoel grows potatoes as its main produce and also grazes sheep.
Farming paintings of Wales
Farming paintings of Wales are localised to a beautiful countryside area close to Lampeter with the exception of the farming painting titled “Cors Caron Cows”; this is some 15 miles North at a wildlife reserve known as Cors Caron. Other Cors Caron views retained on this online paintings gallery are titled as “Tregaron Bog” and “Cows Drinking”. The farming paintings of “Cwmmynach Winter Sun” and “Above Cwmmynach” are different perspectives of the same farm. “Capeli Farm” is the principal neighbouring farm while “Caerfoel” physically overlooks both farms from a hilltop position. One of my latest farming paintings of Wales involves Welsh Cockerels on patrol!
