It’s #StandingStoneSunday again and here’s a drawing I made during a 2 day trip to Pembrokeshire to draw more ancient Neolithic monuments on my quest across South Wales with Rhondda-born archaeologist Dewi Bowen and Swansea film maker Melvyn Williams, hunting the wild megalith, accompanied by my portable drawing board, portfolio of Fabriano paper and a bag full of assorted artist’s materials.
The first stone we came to is the burial chamber of Saint Elfys (Elvis). It’s near Saint David’s which is not too far from the Preseli Mountains. Elfys Preseli. Hmmmm! I wonder if Elvis Presley had Welsh ancestors?
Dewi was researching his latest book on Neolithic monuments, which is nearly finished, and Melvyn made a documentary film of our literary and artistic adventures.
