Scottish Art - Paintings of Scotland:
Moon and Stars over Stones of Stenness
by D. Bruce Bennett
Stones of Stenness, I
Located on Mainland Orkney, the Stones of Stenness date from around the third millennium, BC. Since Scottish folklore sometimes identifies the Stones of Stenness as the "Temple of the Moon," Bruce has given the moon and stars their due as they look down on this ancient standing stone circle.

This quintessential image of Scottish Art shows the lonely remains of what archeologists believe was once an almost square setting of standing stones. Executed in oil painting style, it differs ever so slightly from Stones of Stenness, II, which shows very subtle shadows of the stones, fewer green hills beyond the stones, and a softer blue. This little pair of paintings is now, alas, on someone else's walls. Not to worry. There's more where they came from. Tell us your very own idea of a Scottish landscape painting featuring the Stones of Stenness. (You might want to review the Scottish art commission process first.)
