Wood engraving print, 75x75mm. The Ring of Brodgar, Orkney.

#StandingStoneSunday #printmaking #art #prehistory

Print in black ink of six tall, slender standing stones, part of stone circle. The stones and the ground have some realism. The sky is more graphically represented by horizontal line that increases in width as they rise through cumulus clouds.

Since the last post was received with such enthusiasm, here's some understated standing stones of uncertain history a short walk from home. A tiny 46x36mm wood engraving.

#StandingStoneSunday

A very small (46x36mm) print of an irregular line of small leaning standing stones in long moorland grass, with a moorland ridge in the background, under a sky of fluffy white clouds.

Black and white photo of the stone remains of a neolithic chambered tomb. Two portal stones are standing, with a cap stone balanced on supports and cairn spoil showing around them. Under a dramatic sky at sunset.
