Super sketch Sylvia.

After a vist there myself Sylvia I tried to paint the stones, but just couldn't capture that 'certain' something that you get a feel of there. You haven't had that problem with your atmospheric sketch though.

The stones are super - so solid and ancient looking. Lovely sketch - your sketch book must look amazing now you have filled it with so many wonderful sketches like this.

Captured their imposing weight and height. Excellent sketch. As Thea says, your sketchbook must be a treat to look at.
