Stonehenge

Acrylics on paper. Based on a photograph taken on a trip to England when we visited this wonderful monument. Only by actually standing alongside can you really appreciate what went into the building of this!

Nice depiction of the site. I saw visited it about fifteen years ago. I was disappointed that we couldn't get too near the stones, but it was still amazing to see.

Artist Reply: i have to agree with you Dan...........I know this painting concentrates on the henge, but you really have to see the surrounding landscape with all the burial mounds to appreciate just how important this whole area must have been to the ancient people :o))

I was there in 1979. My paratrooper unit was training in the Salisbury plain. I loved the whole trip. Took a lot of photos, but they disappered. I think someone nicked them.

Artist Reply: Hi Timothy. Thanks for sharing your memories of Salisbury Plain. You get so caught up in the atmosphere of Stonehenge that you forget the military activity that surrounds it. It is so mean that someone took your photos, but I'm a firm believer in karma so no good will come of it for them!

This is so beautifully done.. soft and refreshing.. the sky is my favorite part,.. the colors perfectly chosen. you have a good eye!

Artist Reply: Thanks for your kind compliments on my Stonehenge painting. Although it was November when we visited, we were blessed with a perfect day and the sky is pretty much as it appeared on the photographs I took.
