TWO STONE ENGAGEMENT RING : EMERALD CUT SOLITARE ENGAGEMENT RINGS : STERLING SILVER CUBIC ZIRCONIA ENGAGEMENT RINGS.
16" X 12" OIL ON CANVAS.
We tend to think of stone as being dead and grey, well take a closer look next time you see an old stone bridge or a bench or an old stone built home. Often the surface is filled with life, a multi-coloured universe of lichen and microscopic plant life. I found some beautiful stonework at Gelli Aur Park near Llandielo in Carmarthenshire, Wales, this weekend and took some close-ups which came up really well. I've been thinking about trying to paint something like this for some time and the photo's I got made my mind up and I decided to give it a go. I had great fun creating this painting and will probably try a few more stone art pictures. I could probably adjust the technique a little and create paintings of the Cosmos in the same way. The painting looks sharper when viewed in the lightbox.
I hope you enjoy looking at this !
L - R Engagement ring, our wedding rings, eternity ring. Each one has a story behind it.
The engagement ring is actually my 3rd. Paul proposed with a coke can ring, then he produced my Nan's (great grandmother) eternity ring, then finally I chose the one pictured here.
The wedding rings were customed made by the guy who performed our handfasting. Paul didn't actually try on his ring until the ceremony and it was a tense couple of seconds whilst we waited to see if it fitted, thankfully it did.
The Eternity ring I found online and loved as my "shiny thing" after Clara was born. I really wanted a 4 stone one with 2 diamonds and 2 pink sapphires to represent me, Paul and the two girls but this was the nearest we could find. So we said the 3rd pink sapphire represents the cat lol.
