In the Summer of 1985 our great friends from Eglwysbach, Menai and Esli Jones took me to the shores of Llyn Crafnant. What a wonderful place. The light and emotion I felt. The colours from the rugged mountains reflected in the still waters. I knew from that moment that I was hooked. Since that eventful day I have not stopped discovering beautiful new places for me to paint in Snowdonia.
