No.5/20, of this A1 limited edition, has just been purchased by Angela MacCarthy of Anglesey. I normally only mention the first print sale in any edition, but as this image is one of my personal favourites, and hasn't been shown on this blog before, I think it's great to use this opportunity to share it with you!It is also nice to see local people featured on the print sales records :-)
"I had seen this old derelict chapel on numerous occasions but had never actually looked inside properly. For the first time, I saw a rickety old staircase leading up to an apparently non-existent first floor. I tentatively picked my way up the staircase to nowhere and to my surprise found this amazing scene. There were still remnants of a floor, half a roof and an open window. There was a carpet of green mosses and weeds and a whole centrepiece tree growing from the ground floor. The flocked wallpaper was a textural mix of peach and green and the skylight created a sunlight ambience in the far corner! The outdoors was a picture of new life, hanging centrally and reflected in the floor, or lack of it, in front of me. The lattice of fallen roof timbers, exposed flooring, horizontals, vertical and diagonals made this old room a place for an artist to worship!"

I love it, the colours, the textures,the light, the view through the window, the ambience.
I could live there quite easily, what a great little renovators dream, I would put a skylight where the lattice of the roof timbers remain, what a beautiful sunlit space it would be. ♡
Hi Dianne, I agree, and it's in a stunning location, with views right over the Menai Strait and the mountains of Snowdonia beyond. It is surrounded by fields and is just up from a gorgeous beach. Less than a handful of people live within a mile or so of it. I believe the floor I was hovering on has now collapsed further so I would need to use my rock climbing skills to get any new versions of this! Many thanks for your comments.
No way. I have a very similar shot. Mine was taken down by the stepping stones near Pen Lon. Newborough
I know where you mean mate, been inside there. Finding an exterior view is a bit more awkward though! I am sure you posted a question on Facebook about the location you mention ? Best wishes, Glyn
