Ponies (Cable Bay) and Posies (Shorelands, Malltraeth)


Tunnicliffe’s life centred around the Cefni estuary, Anglesey, a haven for the resident and migrating birds that he drew and painted with such skill and love. Here, a dredger is seen at work and a laden horse-drawn cart trundles by. Cable Bay Ponies nibble at each other, the way ponies do, and home flower arrangements reflect the garden’s gifts. A black tern, black-headed gulls and some turkeys also feature.
