At last! I have a fresh new #painting to show you: #WaylandsSmithy #LongBarrow. My first painting for 4 months & my first of 2026.

I've returned to a theme which I first explored with my paintbrushes (and muddy boots) 25+ years ago; ancient monuments, #standingstones & our #Neolithic past.

This memory gives a taste of the places that interest me. This is from a visit to the Belas Knap Neolithic Long Barrow. This is part of the "Cotswald-Severn" group, and is managed by English heritage.
