Hi Moth,

I'm doing a painting with 2 of the stones from Stanton Drew, that demonstrate the measurements, geometrics, silhouetting etc, for this I took 2 examples that are easy to see for the novice, I think both photo's that I took as a painting example are on this site.
To demonstrate and share with others as how to interact with the stones is a learning process, small or large the rules are the same, large megaliths UK, small microliths stones NL, I put in an example of one of the small stones, but perhaps it not appropiate to post here? And I can't post images to a weblog.

Perspective and gridding was a major part of the Neolithic period it comes back the stones aswell as in the landscape.

What are you wittering on about Jo-anne? Do we really have to be subjected, yet again, to more of this self-indulgent fantasy gobbledegook! What do you mean you are 'doing' a painting? What on earth do you mean by that this 'painting' demonstrates the measurements? <i>What</> measurements?

>To demonstrate and share with others as how to interact with the stones is a learning process...<

Groan... another 'profit' who knows what it was all about and is going to share her divine wisdom with the rest of us?

>Perspective and gridding was a major part of the Neolithic period it comes back the stones aswell as in the landscape.<

Jeez... "Perspective and gridding was a major part of the Neolithic period." What on earth is <i>that</i> supposed to mean? "... it comes back the stone aswell as in the landscape"? Perhaps you can show us just exactly where 'perspective' and 'gridding' appears in the Neolithic landscape and its structures (outside the fantasy realm of your painting that is).
