Here’s a favourite standing stone that I painted in the field while I was out and about with Dewi Bowen as he was researching his new book “Hunting The Wild Megalith”. It’s Garreg Coch in Carmarthenshire and it’s been protected for many years by a barbed wire fence. We’ll be at The Workers Gallery onContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday”

It’s #StandingStoneSunday again and here’s one of my favourites, Maen Llia, a huge megalith near Ystradfellte in the Brecon Beacons National Park.
