Actually it was just an excuse to sketch some standing stones and knot work 😉

This is quite a large piece (22.5″ x 19″) using 2B Wolff’s Carbon Pencil on paper.

So, after splashing some paint about for a while I decided to write the text to go with it…. in hindsight I should have made a few notes as to what the story was about other than a bloke standing with a flaming torch in front of a large standing stone at night. Maybe the story will come back to me when I least expect it, or perhaps it’s really better lost for good anyway 🙂

A3 watercolour
