Alex and I spent a week in our camper there a few years ago. We tend to take time off out of season due to exhibitions and other commitments. We camped on the cliffs overlooking Cardigan Bay. There were periods of sunshine but mostly steely grey skies,rain and a couple of full blown gales. We even had to get up one night to move the camper around to face the wind to stop the van rocking from side to side.
Anway it was a beautiful spot with plenty to sketch although the weather meant painting was pretty much out of it. I got through quite a few paperbacks as well.
Some subjects like churches are quite awkward as they can be surrounded by large trees and or encroaching houses making a view difficult but not necessarily impossible for an artist.
St Mary's has a large northern graveyard which is overgrown but picturesque allowing for a good composition.
Newport Pembs. is worth a visit if you haven't been. This weekend I have been doing apainting of the Towy Valley.
