It’s #StandingStoneSunday on social media again. Here’s Maen Llia, a large Bronze Age standing stone near Ystradfellte in the Brecon Beacons National Park. I painted / drew this en plein air while I was journeying across South Wales with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams, a few years back. It was FREEZING!
Dewi’s working on his new book, about the links between the South Wales standing stones and Y Twrch Trwyth, one of the tales in the Mabinogion – the book of ancient Welsh legend. It’s been about 20 years since he began his research and it’s nearly ready ……. nearly …..
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

Your scribble looks almost like stained glass…
Thanks Alli. As it happens, a stained glass artist I know has used a couple of my “stones” drawings to make up some stained glass panels – more on that in the future 🙂
Must be wonderful to draw something so ancient and mysterious.
It is, they have a strange “life” to them. There are so many across the landscape
What a powerful image! I love it!
Thanks Lois, it’s a beautiful stone.
