Past Meets Present
Acrylic on canvas 100cm x 100cm (39 inches x 39 inches)
My painting depicts the immense earthworks of Maiden Castle Iron Age Hillfort in Dorset, spanning 47 acres, looking towards the growing development of Poundbury in the distance. Maiden Castle was built almost 3,000 years ago, with ditches and ramparts being added over hundreds of years. You can’t fail to be impressed by the sheer size of the earthworks which were built by hand. If you get the chance to visit you will get a real sense of the passing of time and feel yourself being absorbed into the beautiful landscape
