It’s #StandingStoneSunday again and here’s a gate stone in a place called Parc Y Meirw (Field of the Dead) that I visited a while back with Dewi Bowen and Melvyn Williams. Sometimes ancient stones can be found in hedges and used as gateposts and this is one of a group in a hedge that aligns with the moon’s highest point in the sky, which happens every 18.6 years; this cycle can be used for predicting eclipses.
I drew with conte crayon, carbon and Daler Rowney artists’ soft pastels onto Fabriano paper prepared with gesso, charcoal and my home-made walnut ink.
