So to celebrate another little known holiday, September 16 is Owain Glyndwr Day, marking the date of his crowning as the Prince of Wales in 1400 (the last native Welshman to be so named.) He was a pretty spectacular figure, rallying the Welsh to rebel against English rule, establishing a Welsh parliament, but only twelve years after his crowning he disappeared.
The history, mythology, and landscapes of Wales have long been an inspiration to me. I did this watercolour sketch while climbing around Mt. Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa a few years ago.
