Very nice - I hope you were sitting outside on one of our few sunny days last year with a suitable drink closely to hand  :)

Great painting  :thumbsup:  - but I've never ever ever seen the Red Lion with no-one outside it, even at 1am on a Monday morning!   :D

It's very nice, fowlman.  :thumbsup: a relaxing picture.

 I wish my attempts were anywhere near your standard. Even 'artistic licence' was too much to ask  ;D

Congratulations!   :thumbsup:

Many years ago I bought an oil painting of Dunkery Beacon, painted by a local and for sale in the Staghunters pub in Brendon.

I remember the pub landlord telling me that the artist was beside himself with excitement, never having expected that anyone would want to buy his work.  Hearing that made the painting all the more special to me.  I still have it and I still love it; it's maybe not the most technically accomplished of artworks, but it is unequivocally Dunkery Beacon and evokes Exmoor for me whenever I look at it. I don't know what else one would want of a work of art...
