This immense and fine stone is the Brynmaen Stone on Brynmaen Farm near Llannon in Carmarthenshire. It’s on private land and we asked permission at the farmhouse and the lovely farmer sent us up to the field with his son to protect us from the frisky cows and their new young bull. So kind andContinue reading “Iconoclasm!”

The Oscar Speech
Wow! What an evening. It was the last night of my solo show, ‘Yr Helfa / The Hunt’, in the lovely Workers Gallery in Ynyshir and I joined my collaborators, prehistorian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams for an ‘in conversation’. Melvyn showed excerpts of the film he’s working on (he’s been following Dewi andContinue reading “The Oscar Speech”
A Tidy Tea
I held a ‘Tea With The Artist’ event at The Workers Gallery at the weekend, part of my solo show “Yr Helfa / The Hunt“.

The Druid’s Circle
A rare example of a double stone circle – well I had to scribble it, didn’t I?
Stalking The Prehistorian
Since February, I’ve been stomping across the wild places of South Wales hunting the wild megalith, stalking prehistorian Dewi Bowen and filmaker Melvyn Williams. I’ve been drawing as I’ve gone along and these drawings have just opened in my first solo show at The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir. Melvyn has been filming throughout the months andContinue reading “Stalking The Prehistorian”

The Birkrigg Druids
Here’s another of the drawings I did recently at the Birkrigg stone circle in Cumbria. It’s a magical place and I was lucky with the weather – brilliant sunshine in an otherwise wet and dreary summer. It was unusually clear and we could look out across the sea to Blackpool in the middle distance andContinue reading “The Birkrigg Druids”
And Still They Keep Coming…..
The Baby Boomers. I’m lucky that so many have volunteered, and keep volunteering, to sit for me in my creative urge to draw one hundred people of my generation before the end of the year. We’re a massive generation, that’s why we’re called boomers, or sometimes ‘the bulge’, we’re a great big lump moving throughContinue reading “And Still They Keep Coming…..”
