Painting of Carmarthen on the River Towy

This is the painting I have been working on this week. A view of Carmarthen with the River Towy from the West.

I painted this straight off  drawing directly other onto the board with a brush oil and turps.

This method does mean you may have to alter things at a later stage in fact I only had one alteration. I dropped the height of the County Hall which was out of proportion. The important point is to have a really clear idea of how you want it to turn out. 

I really like Paul Simon and I have recently heard a very different version of Sound of Silence by Disturbed. Worth a listen Link
