Llangranog, a fresh morning

WILLIAMS, Christopher (Son of Evan Williams. At first he studied medicine, but at 19 decided to be an artist. Studied at Neath with F.J.Kerr and then at South Kensington & the Royal Academy schools, where he was awarded the Landseer scholarship. He first exhibited at the R.A. in 1902 with "Paolo and Francesca". In 1906 he exhibited "The Remorse of Soul" & "Atalanta" in 1908 "Spring", in 1910 "Margam Orangery", "Dryslwyn Castle", "Snowdonia" * "Ceridwen" besides numerous portraits of notable Welshman.)

It’s a crisp, fresh morning on the beach at Llangrannog. The sea is choppy: foam-topped waves roll in and break against the coast. But people are still out, paddling in the sea and splashing in rockpools.

This was painted around 1917, by the artist Christopher Williams. He was born in Maesteg and became one of the best-known Welsh artists of his time. Williams loved the Welsh coast, and painted it many times on his travels between Llangrannog and the Llŷn Peninsula.
