Stone has been quarried, carved, shaped and built with all over this island for thousands of years, each area has its own distinctive colour and texture.
When you look at an old stone structure the weathering and local conditions further change its appearance.
As I travel around the land I am always fascinated by these ever changing facades, Farm Buildings, Castles, Stately homes and humble dwellings are but a few, industrial architecture and transport engineering such as bridges, viaducts and canal locks are others.
Stone, the very bones of the earth, ripped out and utilised by man in many structural forms are without doubt a natural art-form in thier own right.
With the technological advance of digital photography we can capture these amazing artworks for posterity and our own continuous enjoyment at home by creating canvas prints from them.
So whether it is lichen covered standing stones of antiquity, massive carved frontages to eclisiastical buildings or moss strewn dry-stone walls of the countryside, the bones of the earth when captured and printed on canvas form a wonderfull collection of art for us all to enjoy.
