Visited the Upton Chamber today. Fascinating. I believe it was built by Pre Columbus Celts. The architecture is very similar to beehive huts I’ve seen in person on the Aran Islands of Ireland. “The Upton Cave has been described as one of the largest and most perfectly built of more than 300 stone chambers found throughout the Northeast. A six-foot-high, fourteen-foot-long tunnel leads into a hillside, to a beehive-shaped domed chamber of quarried stone measuring about twelve feet across and eleven feet high. The cave is topped with several large oval stones believed to weigh several tons each.” Upton, MA. #uptonchamber #uptonma #precolumbian #beehivehuts #celtic #celts https://www.instagram.com/p/CExGuebnD7a/?igshid=1p2znecko728b

I have a fairly big oil painting I’m the works, but I got glutened and I was in too much pain to stand or even sit in front of my canvas, so I nursed my creative urge with this little watercolour of the #beehivehuts at #skelligmichael . I was there! I climbed those 633 or so odd steps, up a steep mountain island in the middle of the Atlantic, 8 miles from the mainland of Ireland. These are drystone, meaning that they’re stacked stones, made with no mortar, in the 6th or 7th century. They’re still dry as a bone inside, a feat of ancient human engineering. #travelireland #monksstaircase #600stairs #watercolorpenandink #travelsketch #traveljournal #monasticsettlement #artistsofinstagram #covidart #instaart #dailypainting #bcartist #postcardsfromireland (at Bella Coola, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ltekEHcx2/?igshid=11ihbq5fhw8ex
