Water Paintings from Ceredigion (Cardiganshire)
Water paintings from Ceredigion (Cardiganshire) are well represented on this page. The water painting entitled, “Lake Kilarney” is a lake scene from Eire. If you enjoy the composition of “Stream at Llanina” then you might like to see “Two Trees at Llanina” and “Llanina Bridge” displayed on this online paintings gallery. “Tregaron Bog”, “Ford at Dole” and “River below CAT” were all painted in acrylic paint but different painting techniques were employed to suit their individual compositions. “Tregaron Bog” is known in Welsh as “Cors Caron” and two other paintings of this Wildlife Reserve can be seen on this site; the original sunset painting of “Cows Drinking” and the farming paintings of Wales page displays “Cors Caron Cows”.
“Stream at Llanina”
Acrylic on Paper
257 mm x 190 mm
(10.12 x 7.48 inches)
Price: GBP 115.00
About the Painting: “Stream at Llanina”
There are many hidden faces of people and animals in this water painting but you’d have to either buy it or purchase a large print of it to see them clearly. This painting of water is adjacent in composition to the woodland painting of “Two trees at Llanina”. The viewpoint is from a small road bridge which can be seen in a wild flower painting called “Llanina Bridge”.
“Tregaron Bog”
Acrylic on Canvas
254 mm x 203 mm
(10.00 x 8.00 inches)
Price: GBP 135.00
About the Painting: “Tregaron Bog”
Tregaron Bog is better known as Cors Caron in Welsh. It is a nature reserve with designated walking areas for visitors. The land itself is believed to be Europe’s oldest peat bog. You can still see square holes in the peat where slabs of the fuel were cut out and carted away in days gone by. This particular water painting was achieved “alla prima” and all on a New Year’s day! Not far from this water painting scene is where I painted “Cors Caron Cows”.
“Ford at Dole”
Acrylic on Paper
160 mm x 247 mm
(6.30 x 9.72 inches)
Price: GBP 85.00
About the Painting: “Ford at Dole”
There is nothing spectacular about Dole, near Aberystwyth, other than the water scene captured here. It is just a small river with a shallow part to allow local traffic to cross it hence the title “Ford at Dole”. I was inspired to capture the diminishing sunset light leaking through the foliage. If you like silhouetted water paintings of this nature then you might like the abstract landscape painting, “Cwmmynach Boundary Brook”.
“River below CAT”
Acrylic on Paper
253 mm x 213 mm
(9.96 x 8.39 inches)
Price: GBP 95.00
About the Painting: “River below CAT”
The term “CAT” is used locally to describe the “Centre for Alternative Technology” near Aberystwyth, Mid West Wales. The water painting shown here can be found just below the car park at “CAT”. Another river scene you might like to view is called “Inverted Lights” on the abstract landscape paintings page. Alternatively, the waterfall paintings of Wales may be of interest to you. And if you cannot find what you want then how about commissioning me to paint a water painting for you?
“Lake Kilarney”
Watercolour on Paper
256 mm x 172 mm
(10.10 x 6.77 inches)
Price: GBP 75.00
About the Painting: “Lake Kilarney”
Lake Kilarney is situated at Muckross in Eire (South West Ireland). It is part of “The Ring of Kerry”. This water painting was achieved on location. Fast painting techniques were used to capture the spiritual lighting seeping through the clouds and reflecting back off the water. The mist from the lake added to the overall effect and it seemed to want to blend the distant mountains in with the clouds. Another painting with a captured misty haze is called “Ffynnonddewi Sunset”.
