Julian Brasington

I first came upon this tŷ hir (longhouse in English) near Brynsiencyn a couple of years ago and I go over there every so often to sketch it and to see how it's changing.

I went over again today as I've had it in mind as a home for my ghostly figures 'y wraig' and 'y gŵr'. Having sketched it again and at a larger scale, I feel like I'm almost ready to put everything together and to start working on the lino.

A pastel pencil sketch in black of a ruined stone and slate-roofed longhouse. Trees rise behind the house, the roof of which has partially fallen away to reveal broken rafters.
Carbon pencil sketch of the same farmhouse at an earlier date. Unlike the previous sketch, there is less growth around the house and doors and windows can be seen.
Linocut print of an elderly woman wearing a polka dot blouse. The woman is haloed with a white border beyond is a black shadow fading to grey.
Linocut print of an elderly man wearing a waistcoat and suit. The man is haloed with a white border beyond is a black shadow fading to grey. He looks disconsolate.
