More About MePoole possessed a gentle hand and a keen passion for painting pastoral landscapes, though he often rose to the challenge of creating dramatic scenes and emphasising the raw power of the natural world. The dragon inhabiting this cavern is notaby missing but remains an ominous presence characterised by his absense.
