I recently went to Wales for the weekend and to a beautiful, totally unexpected place called Portmeirion Village, where they filmed the cult TV series 'The prisoner'.
These are some of the pictures I took. If you ever go, stay in a lovely country house hotel called Plas-tan-yr-allt which is lovely and very warm and cosy!

I did this picture with spray paint and collage. The image is raised from the backgroundusing foam board so the shadow shows behind the fish. I used marbleized paper I bought in Florence and spraypainted the background through lace. The rest of the fish, coral and seaweed was done with spraypaint and coloured pencil. The bubbles are origami paper!!
