Aber Valley Arts Festival 2013

I entered the Undercurrents Aber Valley Arts Festival show and won second prize. The theme was 'Out of the Shadows' and related to the centenary of the Senghenydd Mining Disaster.

The arts festival this year falls on the centenary of the Senghenydd Mining Disaster in 1913 when 439 miners lost their lives.

 

The painting was entitled 'The Days After' and depicts one of the 205 widows that the disaster created that terrible morning of the 14th October.
