Stonehenge


			24" diameter was just completed. It grew from a trip to England in the winter of 2004. Stonehenge had an interesting feeling to me of Science and Religion which I tried to capture in this piece. You are floating above the largest stones seeing Stonehenge from inside. The shadows play a large part in this painting as well as in the concept of Stonehenge. I debated whether to paint this as it was or how it is now, I chose, now because I had experienced this. I used a very strong angular geometry coming off the sun and a soft geometry based on the circle coming off the moon. Both the Sun and Moon were very important to early man. I wanted the geometric patterns coming from the Sun and Moon to show some of these powers they were feeling when standing inside looking at the shadows and the powerful bodies moving over our heads. It was most exciting for me being at one of the first Cathedrals built by man and also one of the first Observatories of the heavens built by man. Click here to see prices
