0:03:14 > 0:03:17- After our first date, - I told my mother I'd met a boy...
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- ..and I said she'd like him - because he's a Northwalian.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Mam is a Northwalian too.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Was presenting always your ambition?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- I saw an advert for an X Factor - type show called Presenters.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Dad said, "I bet you haven't - got the guts to try that."
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- I thought, "OK! I'll go."
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- It had never crossed my mind - to go into presenting.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- The next thing I knew, I was at - the HTV studios doing a screen test.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- It was fun - and I really enjoyed myself.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- That's when I thought - it was a direction I'd like to take.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- After that, I met a few people.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27- Did you win that competition?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Did you win that competition?- - No.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- That's where it started, - so where did you go next?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- I got a job presenting Bandit.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- That was in the days of S4C Digital.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46- It was a music show and we were on - late on Fridays and Saturdays.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- From there, I got a job on Uned 5.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- That's when I learned the art - of presenting live TV.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Yes. Uned 5 was live - every Friday evening.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- You tackled - all sorts of different challenges.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- Yes, and I don't miss - those surprise challenges.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10- What was your worst one?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Didn't you do a wing walk?
0:05:13 > 0:05:14- Didn't you do a wing walk?- - Yes.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Didn't you scream?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Yes. It was - one of the presenters' challenges.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26- The viewers called in to choose - a presenter to do the challenge.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- At the start of the show...
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- ..they announced the wing walk - as the weekly challenge.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- I didn't think I'd be selected, - so I wasn't worried.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Then, Iestyn Garlick's voice - boomed out...
0:05:40 > 0:05:45- .."Llinos Lee, you have been chosen - to face the challenge."
0:05:45 > 0:05:46- I was like, "No. No!"
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- I fell to the ground and started - going, "No, no, no, no, no, please!"
0:05:53 > 0:05:54- But I did it.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- You currently - present Heno and Prynhawn Da.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- What kind of experience is that?
0:06:01 > 0:06:02- What kind of experience is that?- - Oh, I love it.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07- The nice thing about programmes - like Heno and Prynhawn Da...

0:06:18 > 0:06:22- People are lovely and - we get a warm welcome everywhere.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- We rock up at a rural pub with - a big truck with satellites on it...
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- ..but people are pleased to see us - and that's really nice.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- We also have some great guests - on the sofa.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- My co-presenter is Rhodri Owen - and we're like a married couple!
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- We've become really good friends - and I think it shows on the screen.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- We enjoy each other's company.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- When I make a mistake, - he starts to laugh!
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- We also wind each other up - before we go on air.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- It's a really nice place to work.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- The commute to Llanelli - is quite nice...
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- ..plus I visit places across Wales.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- How old is little Guto?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- He's two and a half - and he's a real character.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- The terrible twos - haven't been too bad.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- He's pretty good.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Will you give me - a tour of the house?
0:07:20 > 0:07:21- Of course.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- We're in the hall - and it's light and welcoming.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Talk to me about the layout.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42- We've only been here since March, - so we've got a lot of work to do.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- As you walk in, - the living room's on your right.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- That's going to be - Huw and Guto's man cave.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- There's a second living room - at the far end.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- It's a U-shaped room - which leads to Guto's play area...
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- ..then to the kitchen - and finally to the dining area.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, - one bathroom and an en suite.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- We haven't had time - to do the en suite yet.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- It takes time to get it all done.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- We're ticking off rooms as we go.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- It's quite a big house.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19- It's quite a big house.- - Yes, it is.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- We added two extensions - to the original house.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Have you changed - this part of the house?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Yes. The front door - was where we're standing now.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- There was a wall here.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- We built this part, - which extends down here.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- This is the new extension?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- This is the new extension?- - Yes.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48- We had to build this section of - the staircase to match the original.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53- Bob, Huw's father, is an excellent - carpenter, luckily for us.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- He came down and he only took three - days to build it...
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- ..then Huw painted it white.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01- Good job, Bob!
0:09:01 > 0:09:02- Good job, Bob!- - Bob is brilliant.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Can I keep snooping? - Let's go to the lounge.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- It's nice to have a lounge - split into two areas.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- The fire isn't in the fireplace!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- No, because the room is U-shaped...
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- ..I decided to make a feature of it - and buy some sparkly tiles.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Typical me!
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- I like the mirrored furniture.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- I love it.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Guto Prys loves to put - his little hands all over it!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- You've got to clean those - really often then.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Yes, I clean them all the time...
0:09:48 > 0:09:53- ..but it's a little child's home, - so I have to grin and bear it!
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- The floor looks like wood - but they're actually tiles.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- That's really handy...
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- ..when you have a little one - who constantly drops things!
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- This lovely lounge - is part of the kitchen...
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- ..but you can get to the kitchen - this way too.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Yes, and here we are.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- It works nicely, doesn't it?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- Yes, it's open plan - but the rooms feel separate.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22- It's really lovely.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- There's plenty of room - to eat in here.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- We're really happy with it - because it's light and open.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- I can cook here - while Guto plays over there.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- It's nice.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37- Are those bifold doors?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Yes, and that's something - we definitely wanted.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- We haven't done the back garden yet - and it looks a bit of a mess.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- The plan is to do some work - to the garden next year.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- You are the Gappers.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Yes, I call myself Llinos Lee - because Lee is my maiden name...
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- ..but we are the Gappers.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- I had those made especially - but Huw hates them!
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Does he?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- Yes, he says they're cheesy - but I love cheesy things like that.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12- I added fairy lights too!
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- I really love - the art gallery over there.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Guto goes to nursery - two days a week...
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- ..and he's proud - of the creations he brings home.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- He says, "Mami! Mami!" - and he wants us to put it up.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28- Let's go upstairs.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30- Yes. This way.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Come upstairs.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36- That light's nice.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Nice.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- A little bird tells me - you like square objects.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Looking around here, - it's obviously true.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- A square basin - and even a square loo!
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Yes, although I don't know - how or when this started.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04- When I chose things for the house, - I realized I liked square shapes.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- It's more modern.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Once it was in my head, I rejected - everything which was round.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12- "This is too round!"
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- This is the second bath.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- The first bath arrived - and the plumber fitted it.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25- He checked with me that I was happy - and I said, "I don't like the bath."
0:12:25 > 0:12:26- He had to rip it out.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- I thought, "Oh, no! I can't - have a bath that I don't like!"
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- You didn't like the bath? Why?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- A bath is a bath, surely!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- No, I didn't like it and I knew it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39- That bath had to go.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- I had to have a bath - which was a squarer shape.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47- This is a much nicer bath.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Huw's over the whole episode now - and we just don't mention the bath!
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Huw, you deserve a medal!
0:12:57 > 0:12:58- Yes, he does.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- That's great!
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- On the first floor, - there are two spare rooms...
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- ..Guto Prys's bedroom...
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- ..and Llinos and Huw's bedroom.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Hearts on the bed frame.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Yes. I had hearts everywhere - in my old house.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- Huw said I couldn't put hearts - all over our new house.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- I managed to have a couple here, - in the bedroom.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- It's somewhere to come and relax - after a long day's work...
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- ..and after Guto's gone to bed.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Guto's only there, - so we can hear him.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Yes, and I spotted a monitor there.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00- Yes, and I spotted a monitor there.- - Yes. He's still my baby.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- You'll probably still have that - until he's 15!
0:14:04 > 0:14:09- There's something lovely about - seeing lots of cushions on a bed.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- It's luxurious and it makes me - want to sleep in that bed.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16- Is that an en suite?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Yes, but we haven't done it up.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- We've relaxed completely - since we moved in.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- We've been too relaxed about it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- We need to get on with it - and finish the house.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Phase two.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- What a lovely house!

0:16:49 > 0:16:51- ..which is also full.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- It's great to have a - Welsh-medium comprehensive in Barry.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- The school is flourishing too.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15- My father always says...
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- .."Barry born, Barry bred - and when I dies, I'm Barry dead."
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- I think that will be my story too.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- We went from Barry Island - to one of Llinos's favourite cafes.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04- They sell ice cream - and the food in general is nice.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05- It's really handy.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- What else do you do - with your weekends?
0:18:10 > 0:18:15- The weekend is family time, - especially since Guto came along.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21- We enjoy going for walks, relaxing - and enjoying each other's company.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29- I'm busy, between work - and everything else...
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- ..but I make time - for amateur dramatics.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- It's something I've done - since I was little.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- We put on shows - at the Paget Rooms, Penarth.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- We do a musical in March - and a panto in December.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- It gives me a chance just to be me - for a couple of hours.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- I don't think about anything else.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- You're also busy - with local committees.

0:19:12 > 0:19:17- ..which was founded by us, working - with our old Sant Baruc teachers.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- It's a social group - and we meet once a month.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- It's an opportunity for - former Ysgol Sant Baruc pupils...
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- ..to meet up - for a pint or a glass of wine...
0:19:29 > 0:19:30- ..and have a chat in Welsh.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- I've been lucky because I carried on - with my Welsh...
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- ..and I work - through the medium of Welsh.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- A lot of my friends - don't speak Welsh day-to-day...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- ..so this gives them a chance - to speak the language.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- Your father doesn't speak Welsh - but your mother does.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- You see that a lot in families.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57- Yes, plus Huw comes from North Wales - and his whole family speaks Welsh.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- It would be lovely to think that, - when Guto grows up...
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- ..he'll hear more Welsh - spoken here, in Barry.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- We're nice and snug, back indoors.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- My final question for you is if you - had to run out of the house...
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- ..what three things - would you take with you?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- I'm a very sentimental person...
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- ..so there are a lot of items - I'd love to grab...
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- ..but I've chosen these three.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- I was very close to Nain, in - North Wales, and to Nanny in Barry.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- They left me some of their jewellery - when they passed away.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47- This is really special.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- It's Nanny's wedding ring.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- She was my father's mother.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- I never met Grandpa Lee because - he passed away when Dad was young.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58- It means the world to me.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00- Nain left me this ring.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- It was called a Gypsy ring - in her will.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- She also left me this bracelet.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- It looks quite fashionable - but it's really old.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- It's been passed down - and Nain wanted me to have it.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Do you remember her wearing them?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Do you remember her wearing them?- - Yes, especially this ring.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- I remember Nanny - wearing her wedding ring, of course.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- I think - we bought this ring for her...
0:21:29 > 0:21:34- ..so she must have remembered that - and passed it down to me.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39- My parents bought that ring for her - to mark a special birthday.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- The second item is a book.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- Your little black book!
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- I remember my grandfather - in his chair...
0:21:49 > 0:21:54- ..with his slippers and his pipe - and he was always writing.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- I only found out what he was writing - after he passed away.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- He'd written a dictionary - of ancient, Medieval Welsh words.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- It's all handwritten.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- This book is full of words - I've never heard before.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Wow!
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- He took hours, weeks and months - to write this dictionary.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23- That's incredible.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- I've never seen anything like it.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- 'Middle Welsh And Modern Welsh - Old Words'.
0:22:30 > 0:22:37- 'Place names, birds, fruit, animals, - flowers and plants, the firmament'.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- He even has a section - dealing with Y Gododdin...
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- ..the fifth century Welsh poem.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44- It's incredible.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- Yes, and Nain wanted me to have it - after Taid passed away.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Your third item is another book.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Yes, it's another book.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- Huw and I take photos all the time.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- Everyone takes photos - on their phones these days...
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- ..and we never print them - and put them in albums.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12- My parents have photograph albums - from every year of my childhood.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17- The fifth birthday album, - the sixth birthday album and so on.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- Anti Siwan, my brother's partner, - is brilliant at taking photos.

0:23:29 > 0:23:34- There are photos of the christening - and so on in there.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- It's a lovely keepsake.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- A child's first birthday - is an emotional day.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- Yes. I remember crying.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- I cried all day long - and then she gave this to me!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- It's nice - to have an album of photos...
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- ..which go from the day he was born - to his first birthday.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- Thank you very much, Anti Siw!

0:25:31 > 0:25:32- Relax.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- You're a professional artist.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- How would you describe your work?
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- My work is rooted in the area - with which I'm familiar...
0:25:42 > 0:25:43- ..in West Wales.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49- The landscape, the seascape - and the people of West Wales.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- My latest series - is a good example of that.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- His latest pictures - come from the area.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- It features the prom in Aberystwyth.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05- People walking along the prom - and light bouncing off the sea.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- In Pembrokeshire, there are places - like Pwll Deri, Ceibwr...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- ..and Creigiau, near St David's.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- It's all very exciting.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- People do ask me to define - what sort of artist I am...
0:26:22 > 0:26:27- ..but I must say the landscape and - the people are equally exciting.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33- I can't choose one without - doing the other a disservice.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Landscapes - are as exciting as people.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- You like women too, don't you? - As subjects, I hasten to add!
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- Yes, and it may be because - I like the waves on the sea...
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- ..and things - associated with flowing.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- The female shape - appeals to me for that reason.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- Combining the female form - with the shapes of the coast...
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- ..creates a pattern - which is in perfect harmony.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- How do you start a picture?
0:27:08 > 0:27:09- With inspiration.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- Something strikes me somewhere...
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- ..be it the shape of one person...
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- ..or the shape of a group of people - against the light.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22- Siap - shape.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- The shape of a person - against the light.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Something - which fires the imagination.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- Something which inspires you.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- Why do you like painting people?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Why do you like painting people?- - Every person is different.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- We're all different shapes.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- When you have lots of people - of different shapes...
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- ..they create - an interesting pattern.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- I think that's what makes a picture.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54- A situation which has something - special or unusual about it.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59- Those elements come together in one - place - the people and the light.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- As someone who is - pretty hopeless at drawing...
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- ..how should I go about trying - to draw a portrait of someone?
0:28:08 > 0:28:12- Should I start with the nose, - the mouth or the face?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- Where do I start when I draw - somebody's beautiful face?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- It depends - on the subject's personality.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27- Get to know the person and find out - what sort of personality they have.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- When I drew that painting of you...
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- ..I knew you were a lively person - who smiles a lot.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- I think that comes out - in the picture.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Things like the nose - and the shape of the face...
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- ..are secondary to the personality.
0:28:45 > 0:28:50- You start with the personality, - so does colour influence that?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- Yes, most certainly.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- It may sound extremely abstract, - but everyone has an aura.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01- I believe in auras. Of course.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03- It's true.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- It's true.- - Yes, absolutely.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10- Capturing the colour of the eyes - and the hair is about technique...
0:29:10 > 0:29:15- ..but you must capture something - which goes deeper than that.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20- That's the different between a - portrait which is full of spirit...
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- ..and something which is flatter.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- Yes, something superficial or flat.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- How would you describe - the style of your work?
0:29:32 > 0:29:36- The fact I enjoy paint - is the most significant factor.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- I lose myself in the work.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42- Ymgolli - lose myself.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44- Passionate.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45- Passionate.- - Yes.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51- The passion in my work comes out - and that's what defines my style.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- I don't fit - into a specific category.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- I'm just someone - who enjoys using paint.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- How long does it take you - to paint a picture?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Sometimes, a picture - comes really quickly.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- Clou - quickly.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- It can come in one hour - or in two hours, perhaps.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- Sometimes, it takes two days.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- Are you sad - when you say farewell to a picture?
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- If your pictures are your friends, - does your heart sink...
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- ..and you don't want to sell them - or exhibit them?
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- That's only happened to me - three or four times.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- I feel like farmers feel - about selling certain animals.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40- Farmers can't part with some animals - because they're dear to them.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46- When a picture goes to the home - of someone who appreciates it...
0:30:46 > 0:30:51- ..and I know it will bring pleasure - to the people who live there...
0:30:51 > 0:30:56- ..it feels good to see it leave - my studio, where no-one can see it.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- What pictures - didn't you want to part with?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- Portraits of people you know?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05- Yes.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- When I left teaching, - I did a portrait of my father.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10- Where is the painting?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- Where is the painting?- - At home. I haven't parted with it.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- How would you describe - the world of art in Wales?
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- That's a really big question!
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- Well, we are very highbrow!
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- We like to discuss artistic matters.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- Lots of good things are happening.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- There's a lot of talent in Wales.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37- We have a lot of excellent painters.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- Who do you...
0:31:40 > 0:31:42- I'll do this myself.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- Who inspires you?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- Very good.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- Augustus John, the great Welshman.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- Augustus John, the great Welshman.- - Kyffin?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Yes, Kyffin Williams - was an excellent painter.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- One of the greatest Welsh artists - is the underrated Evan Walters.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- He was an artist - from Llangyfelach, Swansea...
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- ..but he's never had much attention.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- He was a brilliant artist.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- What about your father? - We must talk about him.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- Do you share a studio - with your father?
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- No, but we used to share a studio.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- Your father must have been - a huge influence on you.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29- Yes, very much so.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36- The thing he does which has had - a huge impact on me is simplifying.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- Symleiddio - simplifying.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43- You look at a horse and you - capture the spirit of that animal...
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- ..by simplifying it.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- Things become clearer and stronger.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- Dal ysbryd - capture the spirit.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- Eleri Sion. Welcome.
0:32:57 > 0:32:58- Eleri Sion. Welcome.- - Hello!
