August - Criccieth Castle

Here we go then, the first of  my monthly landscapes, a snapshot of August, mostly rainy with some sunny cloudy days. Semi inspried by  J.M.W. Turners painting of the same Castle, and just to be clear he changed the castle around and not me. This is Criccieth castle on the Lynn penninsula in North Wales. This is the view from the west beach of Criccieth, I spent an afternoon between the two beaches and this was my favourite vantage point, you can see me on my profile picture swinging my legs on the breakers, just before I took a breather and leant on my easel smearing green, blue and brown paint up my arm. It was a quieter beach too so less distractions.
