A visit to Dolgellau (Dolgelley)

As with last weeks chapter, we remain in Wales and head south from Pont Aberglaslyn to the town of #Dolgellau and to the year 1921. Four pencil drawings are our artworks today. They were created over a 9 month period. They are all signed #CMSmith and dated but only one says that it is near #Dolgelley.

Scene with deer and traveller heading towards a castle – drawn by CM Smith @ 28/9/1921
Traveler crossing a bridge near Dolgellau – pencil drawing by CM Smith @ 12/2/1921

The mounts of Cadair Idris and Mynydd Moel are visible from Dolgellau, making it a favoured starting point/base for climbers and walkers.

Large tree at rivers edge – pencil drawing by CM Smith @ 7/7/1921
Trees along ghe rivers Edgar- pencil drawing by CM Smith @ 8/3/1921

All four pieces are excellent arboreal drawings exhibiting the grandeur and magnificence of the forest growth in #Snowdonia. Well worth a visit to see places such as these.
