About This Image

I’ve been fortunate to visit the incredible neolithic site of Stonehenge, as pictured here, twice. The first time was at the dawn of my love of travel. At that point, I always had a camera in tow, but I had yet to really discover my love of creating visual art with it. That first visit to the Salisbury Plain featured postcard perfect blue skies that I would not see again on the next.

My second visit was, as seen here, stormy. Most of my time walking around the ancient stone circle, the skies were particularly flat and gray. Just before I left, there was a golden moment with enough light to give the clouds some real depth for a few minutes. I think this resulting landscape print is a quite special and dramatic view of ancient Stonehenge. Don’t you?

I loved that picture perfect weather for my first time seeing Stonehenge, but I wouldn’t trade that second visit. This one lone view of the landscape at Stonehenge is uniquely mine.

I know it would be a madhouse, but I would dearly love to visit Stonehenge at least once more, to photograph it during the solstice. Just imagine seeing it with throngs of people who are all trying to imagine the minds of the people who built this beautiful place thousands of years ago.

For now, I’ll look back at this photo and be thankful for that one golden moment at Stonehenge. Have you gazed on these ancient stones, too? Or are you an armchair archaeologist like so many of us, fascinated by the prehistoric world represented the sanding stones of Stonehenge?

Note: Stonehenge, Avebury and associated neolithic monuments in Wiltshire are part of a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site.

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
