Avebury

Avebury - Acrylics on Textured Canvas
 

Avebury is a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles, around the village of Avebury in Wiltshire. Unique amongst megalithic monuments, Avebury contains the largest stone circle in Europe, and is one of the best known prehistoric sites in Britain, second only to Stonehenge.
However un like Stonehenge, it's free to visit, you can also walk round and touch the stones
In the area you can also see the West Kennet long barrow and Silbury Hill

My painting wasn't premeditated it came about just after my visit to Avebury, my sister suggested
we should paint together, I had no idea what I should paint but I was very inspired by Avebury, trying to capture
it's magic and essence..
I hope I have done this?...
