Painting Description

This mine has now found new life as a tourist attraction offering tours of the minehead and the mill. I discovered this site when, in 1988, I was commissioned by the then President of the National Trust Company to paint a mural for their new headquarters in Toronto. That trek caused me to consider what an important part geography plays in the way people live. The industries, such as this coal mine, determine the shape of daily life.
