Description

Within my bluebell woodland stream welsh landscapes painting there are many hidden faces and pictures of animals that I did not consciously paint in. They just appeared and I noticed them only after I had finished this woodland view of the freshwater stream at Llanina in Ceredigion. The stream is called Afon Gido.

I used acrylic paint as watercolour on specially prepared paper. My vantage point was from a little old stone bridge with a hump in it and which straddles this stream.

This freshwater then flows to one side of the small Saint Ina’s church at Llanina and which is less than 50 metres from the bridge. Eventually the water flows onto Cei Bach beach and into the Irish sea and which is less than 200 yards from my painted scene of natural welsh landscape beauty.

A tree lined path runs parallel to Afon Gido. This is on the right of my painting but you cannot see anything of the path as it is hidden by bracken and other ground vegetation. Instead I decided to concentrate on the bright afternoon sunlight on some of the visible tree trunk sides and on various boulders and stones on the left bank of the slow moving Afon Gido water.

The stream water looked so calm it was almost still; this enabled me to capture some reflections within it and predominately of some tree trunk, boulders and the blue sky above.

Towards the middle left you should be able to see a mass of blue wild flowers with many of these being bluebells.

Faces of people and animals appeared within this painting that I did not consciously paint in. They just appeared as they often do within my artwork. These faces seem quite apt for the area too.

There is a face of a cow or bull on the right bank and fashioned out of bracken and right at end of the stream there is the top half of a helmeted face. He could be a Roman, as history confirms they lived and worked in this geographical area or he might be a miner of sorts.

In addition, there are many faces of birds and rodents hidden in the foliage.
