Here is some of the resulting work from the project including sketch work to finished paintings. I have included some work from and developed from my life drawing sessions that I have attended in parallel to the project. It has played a significant role with regards to my progress, not only has it had a dramatic effect on my drawing but the experience of some of the other members of the group has been invaluable.

Tra bum yn teithio o amgylch Cymru, confides fod fy edmygedd o`r mawredd amrywiol a hyfrydwch didostur y tir a`r arfordir, yn gydradd a`r croeso cynnes a dderbyniais gan bawb o`r Gogledd I`r De.
I`r rhai aeth allan o`u ffordd I`m helpu, byddaf yn ddiolchgar iddynt hyd weddill fy oes.
Diolch I chi.
As I spent time travelling through Wales I found that my awe of its diverse majesty, relentless beauty of the land and coast, was equalled by the warmth and welcoming reception I received by all from North to South.
For those who put themselves out and without fail went the extra mile to help, I will always have a special place in my heart.
I thank you.
