Stacked Stones (Cairn) (present moment)

It's been 2 years since I stacked stones for a painting. A cairn is a human-made pile (or stack) of stones, and the word cairn comes from middle Gaelic. Since prehistory, they have been built and used as burial monuments. In modern times, cairns are also built as landmarks, for ceremonial purposes, and to mark trails, among other purposes.
If you enjoy this painting, you may also like to see Still Life with Stacked Stones (Cairn) (2017), or other paintings from my "present moment" series, or my "magic is still possible" series, my golden series, or a bunch of my trompe l'oeil paintings.
