South Stack Blog: December 2011
December has started the bad weather it seems. However we can still enjoy ourselves at South Stack
On Saturday and Sunday, the 3rd and 4th of December we had a two day event featuring a local very prominent artist namely Mr Philip Snow. He is well renowned for his water colour painting of birds.
The event was well supported and brought in some very welcome funds for the RSPB.
Mr Snow gave a live demonstration of his skill which was extremely interesting.
Below are pictures showing the event.
If anyone would like to see more of his work please visit his web site:
