These 9 images form part of a 140 image colour chart collected in Cardigan and Cilgerran over a series of walks between 2015- 2020 and featured in my January 2020 residency on Instagram for @landartcollective
PLEIN AIR
A painterly tone inspired by the Thomas Jones painting, wall in Naples, 1782

White with umber undertones referencing the brown and white speckles of
the migratory Fieldfare bird

The Norse name for the island at the mouth of the Teifi Estuary, thought to
mean Isle of Horses and a safe haven
MUNICIPAL
Inspired by municipal planting this is a loud red which makes it's presence felt

This shade takes its name from the natural patina formed on copper, brass or bronze
by atmospheric oxidisation

Y Cei by Ceri Wyn Jones
LLOCHES
This rich emerald green surface will provide shelter or shade.
RESTORATION RED
