This is a sketch I made in Snowdonia some time ago. I'm a romantic, so I just love mysterious places. And what place is more mysterious than the one that has faded away under the spell of time in the wilderness of Snowdonia?
"Sketch of Ruins in Snowdonia", 21x30 cm, charcoal on paper
This sketch just makes me want to scour the grounds and look for hidden treasure, perhaps an arrowhead or old traders gold piece. Did you actually go inside or could you. I love this sketch for it draws me into its mystery. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteYes, you can actually go inside and look out of the window! As for digging for treasure, I didn't try it myself, but I like to think that there are many forgotten treasures just waiting to be discovered :)

Hi Carolyn, I'm really happy you like my blog :) See you next time!
DeleteThis reminds me of sketches by old masters before they go in for the big painting - it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Em. I love old masters, so this is really a compliment for me :)
DeleteI love these mysterious places with ruins, too. It always feels as if you could sense some of the essence of the place.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right, Karin!
DeleteA beautiful sketch - so atmospheric. A ruin like that always makes my imagination run riot :)
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way and I'm glad you like this sketch!
DeleteWhat a great sketch. I know nothing about Snowdonia but like you I love mysterious places.
ReplyDeleteHi, Debbie. I'm happy that you like my sketch :) As for Snowdonia, it is a breathtaking nature reserve in Wales.
