A black and white photograph, focusing on a decorative, carved stone cross mounted at the apex of a steeply pitched, corrugated metal roof. The textured roof and the ornate cross contrast sharply with the plain sky.

Rooftop Sentinel: Corrugated iron and carved stone, an enduring symbol against the sky.

“But here’s the question: are the flower and fruit
held out to us in love, or merely thrust
up at us, their masters, like a fist?”

A striking black and white low angle shot of the stone gable of a church. The rough hewn stone structure features a circular window opening with a weathered border. Dominating the peak of the gable is a simple, large stone cross. A small, dark bird is perched on the top arm of the cross, silhouetted against a bright, cloudy, and dramatic sky.

A weathered, lichen-covered stone cross stands prominently in the foreground, with its rough texture and patterns clearly visible. In the blurred background, a vibrant green field stretches towards a distant, lush green mountain range under a cloudy sky. A low stone wall is also visible in the mid-ground. The image has a historical and serene feel.

A miniature watercolour landscape painting of Dartmoor moorland in with a slightly threatening cloud-filled sky. In the foreground there is an area strewn with granite boulders and a single wind-swept tree.

I started this week aiming to paint 4 mini Dartmoor landscape pictures. Somehow I have finished up with 9! Here are the last two: Dartmoor Scenes 8 and 9
