An evocation of my teens when I spent a lot of time in and around the old slate quarries of North Wales, notably Penrhyn. This big painting incorporates Ordnance survey maps of the area and has a slate colour which hopefully reflects the moods of the quarries.

Love the colour and energyScott Wessel 17 Oct 2005
I like the use of color. I also like how the viewer is placed in the middle of the story. You may not know where the story ends, and you may not know where it began, but viewers are thrust into the heart of the work. Very emotional feel. I like this.Ralph Miller 17 Oct 2005

I think you have a very distinctive style. I like the element of fantasy, it seems like there is a story behind each part of the painting...Olga Dmytrenko 20 Sep 2005
I love this one too very much. You have such unique style, I am amazed..kind of abstract/reralistic/primitivism fusion. Works perfect for a viewr of my type!Jan Plater Zyberk 13 Sep 2005
