A large, windswept veteran ash tree with gnarled branches stands in a green field behind a traditional dry stone wall, with rolling hills in the background under a bright, clear sky.

Dry Stone Walls "I love the way they ramble, reassuringly ancient, over the bare winter mountain, accentuating its stark seasonal architecture. They are innocuous but immovable, like tenacious bones of history – holding the landscape together." #drystonewall #walking #landscape #nature #birds #ponty

A solitary, ancient standing stone positioned on a desolate Cumbrian fell at the break of dawn. The lighting is cinematic and low-angled, highlighting the rough, weathered textures of lichen and deep-fissured rock. In the background, rolling misty valleys are bathed in soft indigo and gold, rendered in a sharp, hyper-realistic style that emphasizes the permanence of the stone against the fleeting morning mist.

"We trust in gods, in coin, in fleeting luck,
But they trust only in the standing stone.’*
We explore the textures of the land in *Cumbria In Verse - Lakes To Fells In Poetry*. Coming soon to a bookshelf near you.

This is next to a path I literally must use once a week, but somehow I'd not appreciated it before

A left hand holding a book in front of a garden. The garden is mostly meadow and grass and small cobble stone wall. The book is "Drystone - A life Rebuilt" from Kristie De Garis.

Dry stone walls require the skill of the builder to carefully select, shape, and arrange stones to create stable and durable walls. I have them in many places on my property. Amazing craftsmanship.

An illustration of two people building a dry stone wall in the countryside.

I am putting this down for the moment. Pretty happy with how it's looking but I will come back to it and finish it off.

Now I'm going to work on an animal!

This is my month of illustrating as hard as I can and maybe next month too.

An illustration in progress of two people making a dry stone wall.

Progress on this print illustration. Lots to do but at least I've started on the details!

I'm playing with the idea of having two transparent grey layers.

Work in progress...getting near then end of blocking out colour and ready to start drawing on top and adding textures.

A rough colour illustration of dry stone walls amongst fields.

I am doing a colour rough of my dry stone wallers print.

Haven't added the dry stone wallers yet!

This is a very early rough, just working out composition and colour.

Two sketches. The top one is of dry stone walls with people working on the walls. The bottom one is people picking apples in an orchard.

Two new sketches of working people. Here are the apple pickers and the dry stone wallers.

Good morning, Bluesky. Not a cloud here to mar the blue.

Today’s flower photo was taken on our anniversary last year, so around about this time. A naturalistic planting, or self-seeded and left for nature to do her thing. I like what she’s done!
Happy Friday
