The Great Tor, Three Cliff Bay, Gower

Posted on July 10, 2020 by pobbles2000

I have painted this monumental piece of rock many times, but previously always in watercolour. This is my first oil painting of the subject from this viewpoint. The Great Tor is the limestone promontory that effectively separates Three Cliff Bay from the great sweep of Oxwich Bay, on the Gower Peninsula. One is accessible to the other only when the tide is at its lowest and you are able to walk around the headland.

Oil on canvas mounted on a panel, 61×46 cm. (24×18 inches)

New Blog – lesthomasart.com

Posted on December 5, 2013 by pobbles2000

I have started another blog which I am now using as a ‘proper blog’, with words as well as pictures. This will record my progress as a painter as well as including other items of interest in the art world. This new blog, lesthomas.com will now be my primary blog.

This blog, pobbles2000.wordpress.com will remain for the time being, but I probably will not be adding much to it in the future.
