I have to say that after viewing several original peices of his work and after scouring auction sites, I feel his work, even at current market value is amazing value for money. I also feel that despite many of these paintings being produced from the 50's onwards, the way in which they were created is so special that they remain modern in appearance and can be enjoyed by all generations, including young couples such as ourselves. I feel our painting is of exceptional quality and is a sound investment into Welsh art.

I once met the artist when studying for my scout artist proficiency badge c.1968 ? And went to his house in Caernarfon to meet him. I remember he showqed me around his gallery and we discussed paiting styles etc. Not sure when my parents acquired the picture itself it has a price tag of £82 on the reverse but believe we have had it since the 60's ? My dad used to also work for Gwynedd CC so may have met him at work. I am now the proud owner of a Wyatt Warren I inherited the picture Mynedd Mawr from my late mother last year.

I bought it in a little gallery in Caernarfon while on holiday in about 1964, as a present for my mother. She had it for years and I inherited it when she died in 1999. It is a small oil which cost me 8 guineas, eqivalent to about £144 in 2012 prices. In the exhibition, there was another Warren, which I preferred, called "Above Nant Gwynant". However it cost 14 guineas, which I could not afford. The gallery also had some art by Kyffin Williams including a large semi-abstract rather expressionist canvas called 'War machine' or something like that. So Warren and Williams were being sold together, though the Williams pictures were ten times more expensive. A schoolfriend of mine, whose father was a Congregational minister, originally from Dowlais, showed me proudly a Warren which his parents had in their home in London in about 1967. It was a large painting of a whitewashed house, viewed from the end. So Warren was quite well-known and was being bought in Wales in the 1960s.
