Private view - Penarth

2/4/2022

I've just arrived home from a wonderful evening (yesterday). It was my first time exhibiting with the Royal Watercolour Society of Wales and the venue was the Turner House Gallery in Penarth. It was a lovely private view evening and I met some of the other members which was fantastic. I had not visited Penarth before. What a lovely place.

My piece, March Madness, on the wall at the gallery.

A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

23/12/2016

Just a quick note to say.........
Thank you to everyone for their support this year. It's been a wonderful year and it has been great to meet all of our visitors here at the farm.
We look forward to seeing you in 2017.

Here are a few vouchers for your creative journey in the New Year.

And into the New Year.

In 2015 I set myself a challenge to draw every day. Although I didn't manage every day, 190 in total, I found that it really helped me with observation and I found new possibilities with my drawing. So I am going to set myself a similar challenge in 2017. Something creative every day. This time I'm not restricting myself to pencil alone and it could be just part of a painting or a quick sketch (hopefully) every day and then share it on Facebook and Twitter. Would you like to join me? Let me know. It could be fun!

Prints, Christmas and a move to the Sea

30/10/2016

Its been a busy year so far at 'Art at Pengwernydd' with many more visitors this year with lots of repeat bookings! I have had a fantastic time! I love my job so much and have met so many wonderful people. We were still out on location last week, not bad for October!

I'm currently exhibiting with Celf Canolbarth Cymru (Mid Wales Arts) at the Minerva Arts Centre, Llanidloes, Powys until the 8th November. It's a lovely venue, one we hope to revisit next year. I have, along with the usual wall hung pieces, greetings cards and browser items, some new prints on box canvas. They are also available in the Tourist Information Centres in Aberystwyth and Aberaeron, directly from me and shortly in the Bay Gallery, Pier Street, Aberystwyth.

I have also been working on two new paintings for this years Christmas cards. This year the theme will be birds. There's a very traditional Robin and a Blue Tit. They have been quite a change in direction for me. A lot more colourful than my usual quite limited pallete. Again, they will be available in all the usual venues or directly from me.

Oh, I do like to be by the seaside....................................

Ive moved! Firstly I must reassure you that nothing has changed Art at Pengwernydd will still be exactly where it always has been, on Margaret and Ivor's lovely farm, Pengwernydd. But I now live by the sea! And have a fantastic indoor studio! No longer the shed in the garden! We now live in a beautiful village called Llansantffraed, near to Llannon, right on the edge of Cardigan Bay. It's quite a well kept secret with a beautiful wild beach and a little ancient church. Very pretty and very quite. So, I'm going to introduce a coastal theme for visitors to Art at Pengwernydd to use for inspiration with some 'on location' trips out in the summer months.

Easter Week - Spring (and inspiration) is in the air

1/4/2016

Easter at Pengwernydd is a wonderful time. The new year full of new life. A beautiful place to hold our art workshops and for our visitors to experience this time of year with us.

This weeks workshops have been amazing. We have had the pleasure of four very talented artists (and their families) staying at Pengwernydd this week. Beautiful paintings and great company.
On the first day we took the fields and pastures of Pengwernydd as inspiration and on the second we looked at 'the romantic ruin'. I think some of the sunshine we have enjoyed this week has appeared in the paintings!

Also, the first calf of the year was born yesterday. A beautiful boy! Hopefully the good weather will continue and the calves can join the lambs out in the fields.

..............and more lambs.

17/3/2016

The lambs at Pengwernydd are coming fast now. Lots of work for all of the family with lots of multiple births! The lambs are really enjoying the sunshine, playing in the fields around the farm.
On Saturday we are running an art workshop to try to capture this wonderful time of year. Starting at 10.30 at the Function Room, Pengwernydd. If you would like to come, or would like further information, just get in touch. art@pengwernydd.com or 07891919444

What our customers are saying..............

'You tick all the boxes.
The tuition is perfect - help when needed plus extra new tips. Start and finish times are perfect. Lunches are great value. The cottage is very comfortable, warm and a very high standard. Surrounding countryside is stunning!' - E P

‘We thoroughly enjoyed our time with you. Our only regret was it should have been longer! I learned so much in three days and felt I had made more progress that I had done in months.’ - J

'It was a most enjoyable experience. For me, the en plein air in the morning and workshop reinforcement and completion of painting, or starting something new in the afternoon was a fruitful and worthwhile experience. Anita is a very gifted teacher with good direction to take the student forward and then the skill to let the student fly and come away with a great sense of achievement' - Les

Excellent course and delightful surroundings' - L D

'I thoroughly enjoyed the Art Course tutored by Anita Woods. I was taught to paint with watercolours and was very pleased with the results. I would recommend this workshop to anyone of any ability.' - Sandra
