Glaslyn Valley, North Wales
This painting gives us a bird's eye view of the Glaslyn Valley, in north Wales. A river meanders through the mountains, inviting us to follow as it curves its way through the valley into the distant blue. The fields around the river are flat, with rocks and mountains rising in mounds either side. The colours are soft and dreamlike. The Glaslyn Valley is one of the most beautiful areas of Wales, rich in wildlife.
This was painted by Vivian Pitchforth about 1940. Pitchforth was an official war artist in Britain in the Second World war.
