The above painting, oil on linen measures 28 x 44 inches and captures a local scene some twenty minutes walk from my home.
The four horses were in the field so they are the natural choice for this painting. A Valley Line train can be seen travelling North to Pengam station and
The New Road (from Hengoed Viaduct to Tiryberth)
is visable.
The reverse painting of this spot can be seen below ( Mynyddislwyn from Cefn-Hengoed - 96 ) and also a painting of Hengoed Viaduct (53) shown below is seen from a
field just a few yards to the left from this spot. Just goes to show that artists needn't look far for their subjects.
