It’s #StandingStoneSunday on social media again and here’s a drawing/painting I did en plein air of the Bronze Age Bryn-y-Rhyd standing stone in Carmarthenshire near Llanedi. It was early on in my journeys across South Wales with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams, about 5 or 6 years ago now. I was only supposed to be tagging along for the occasional scribble, but the stones drew me in. Dewi’s working on his new book, about the links between the South Wales standing stones and one of the tales in the Mabinogion.
I worked with charcoal and carbon onto vintage paper I’d prepared with my home made walnut ink.
Raising Funds.
My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. Phil is disabled by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and the operation he needs isn’t currently available in the UK. I know times are hard, but if you’re able to spare a bob or two, please click here find out more or to donate a small amount to Phil’s crowdfunding campaign. Thank you xxx

Trying Out A Change.
I’m having a go at new templates for my website so I’ll be changing them a few times over the next couple of weeks to see how I get on with them. If there’s one you really like, or dislike, please let me know . Thanks x
I like this format a lot. Easy to read, perfect size of photos. I don’t know how many you are trying, but this one works for me!
Thanks Alli. I’ve had a few people saying this is a good one. I really appreciate it 🙂
