Lux Tenebris
Jon Foreman: Created at Pensarn, Abergele. This was the last piece I made in 2021! I was glad to have gotten the chance to work on a large scale again, it had been a while! As ever I had an idea that changed as I progressed but I love that this one has curves going horizontally and vertically with a kind of half pipe effect (a curved ramp of stones either side). Also very lucky to have had the chance to capture the sea engulfing it. Although it was coming in very fast it was coming very calmly which allowed me to get plenty of photos, got my feet wet for this shot!
Crescent
Jon Foreman: Created at Lindsway Bay, Pembrokeshire. I’m so used to following the circle round further that its hard to break the habit. Glad to have managed it with this one though! It really feels like it merges into the sand, which is something that I’m not sure I’ve succeeded in doing in the past. At least not as well as this one.
Dissicio Quadratum
Created at Freshwater West.
Circumflexus
Jon Foreman: Created for Llano Earth Art Fest Texas. This is the most intensive work I’ve created and took four days to complete! I initially started with the largest stones making the back of the circle, as the stones got smaller I began to realise the time that would be involved. I’d love to know how many there actually are! Photo by Laurence Winram Photography.
Fluidus
Jon Foreman: Yes it looks like a jellyfish, no its not meant to be one. I’m not trying to suppress any imagination but for me I’m essentially trying to create something that doesn’t yet exist so that attachment to something that does exist gets on my nerves haha also feels like its oversimplifying the work a bit… But call it what you want haha!This one was actually created before “Peruersum” (The 4 day piece created at LEAF) and is what Peruersum was based on. The difference being that I didn’t have the time fill a full circle for this one so I got the opportunity at LEAF. I love creating the familiarity between pieces of work without directly repeating something. Having said that, i don’t know that I could directly repeat a piece of work without it becoming a tiny bit different!
Also the sand was really annoying that day and every time I put a stone into the sand it created the cracks you can see between the stones, interesting effect i suppose
Acervus Circlus
Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. I love working like this, finding colours that contrast well and placing on top of one another. Very satisfying work to do, showing freshwater Wests colours in a different way, although I usually add white too I thought amongst these white may stand out too much.
Expletio Duo
Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. This piece is 1 in a 3 part set that I’m trying to get made. Many of you will have seen “Expletio” which is a single spiral using these same colours and this fractal style of working. I shall at some stage be creating the third in the set which will be a triple spiral in the same style! Anyway this one proved more fiddly than the previous version, I think I must have downscaled it a bit and that coupled with cold/windy weather made for difficult work. Got there in the end though!
Druid Spiral
Jon Foreman: Created at Druidston I love working with the slate at this beach, definitely has a different vibe and colour, I’ll have to get back there again soon!
Sinking Circle
Jon Foreman: Although I don’t consider myself an especially good photographer I’m very happy with how this one turned out, aside from the work itself looking good (and with this angle showing the incline more clearly) aside from the work I think I caught the atmosphere of the day which isn’t often very obvious in my work! Also love the water making the edge of the stones glow and they disappear into the distance, I’m all about depth within the sculpture why not outside the sculpture too.
Lumen
Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. A couple of years back I created a very similar piece to this, the only difference being that the stones were previously placed flat. I feel the sense of movement is enhanced with them placed this way really radiating outward as they disperse.
Nether Flower
Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. Couldn’t resist sharing this angle with the shadows! This one got a little bit messy in the middle because of the nature of the placement in the space available. I have to start in the middle and slot the next layer behind the previous so the more I add the less space there is in the small “hole” I made for this. So yeah they got a little bit squashed but I can live with that!
Above Below
Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. Another mushroom creation, couldn’t resist making use of the massive branch of driftwood. Again these are just stones balanced on sticks accept where they go over the driftwood. A fun one for sure… More mushrooms to come!
Shroom Sheet
Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West I’ve done quite a lot now with shrooms, yes they’re stones balanced on sticks, no – its not as difficult as it seems! .. until you start putting them very close together… But until creating this piece I’ve yet to work with them while incorporating colour (or more precisely colour change) as with this one! I’ll likely do more at some stage!
Obnatus Luna
Jon Foreman: These stones are often buried under the sand when there’s been particularly high tides so I have to hope they’re not buried every time!
Flos Tholus
Jon Foreman: At Freshwater West. The only plan I had was to make triangles that go from large in the middle to small on the outside, which, in essence is what i did. However it does really resemble the flower of life when seen from above. You’ll have to wait for that shot though! Stay tuned.
Direct
Jon Foreman: Direct, 2025. Created fairly recently (08/09/2025) at Poppit sands, a first for me making stoneworks. Had a great time that week with a bunch of Land Art friends, more work to come from that time and more shots of this work too! P.S its pretty big, those far strands of stones are longer than they look, its just the angle!More: 9 Leaf Sculptures That Stir the Soul in the Forest (Art by Jon Foreman)

Winter can be miserable, but these creative geniuses decided to turn the freezing cold into a comedy show. Here are 10 cars that woke up with a whole new attitude.
Instead of just scraping the ice and grumbling about the temperature, these anonymous street artists saw a blank canvas. From accidental icicle-punks to cars that look like they’re plotting something, these 10 photos prove that snow is just nature’s paint.
More: Snow is Fun (8 Photos)
1. The Squad
Even the police aren’t safe from the “Cars” movie treatment. These vans look like they are plotting something mischievous—or maybe they’re just happy to not be on patrol in the blizzard.
2. Punk’s Not Dead
This car didn’t just get snowed on; it grew a mohawk. The way the icicles have formed spikes gives this little red ride the most rebellious look in the entire parking lot. It’s arguably the coolest car in town.
3. Feeling Cheeky
A wink and a tongue out. This Volkswagen proves that a little bit of snow can bring out a car’s true personality. It’s amazing how a few swipes of a gloved hand can create such a distinct expression.
4. The Big Sniffer
When the snow piles up heavily on the hood, you have to work with what you’ve got. This artist sculpted a nose that could smell spring coming a mile away. It gives the car a grumpy, sophisticated look.
5. The Passengers
Why scrape the whole window when you can just draw your passengers? This is a brilliant way to clear just enough space to drive while telling a funny story about who is (or isn’t) in the car with you.
6. Wide Awake
This Peugeot looks absolutely thrilled to be freezing cold. That wide, toothy grin is enough to wake anyone up on a grey morning. It’s hard to be grumpy about the weather when your car is this happy.
7. Morning Commute Moods
Someone took the time to go down the entire row. Every emotion of the morning commute is captured here, from sleepy and suspicious to wide-eyed and worried. This row of cars represents us all before the first cup of coffee.
8. The Gossip Circle
A bird’s eye view of a parking lot personality crisis. It looks like they are all gossiping about the car next to them. Simple lines, maximum effect.
9. Love at First Frost
Who says parking lots aren’t romantic? These two neighboring cars were given eyes that gaze adoringly at one another. It’s clearly a winter date that is going very well.
10. Mr. Happy
Sometimes the simplest art is the best. A classic smiley face on a mint green car is just wholesome content. It’s a reminder that winter doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom.

Snow Is Fun (8 Photos)
Winter isn’t just about shoveling driveways and shivering in the cold. For those with a bit of imagination, a fresh blanket of snow is the ultimate blank canvas.
From giant puns on a sidewalk to ghosts that got caught in the frost, these 8 photos show that a little bit of freezing weather is no match for a great sense of humor. When the world turns white, it’s the perfect time to remind everyone that nature can be just as funny as it is beautiful.More: Funny Snow Sculptures (10 Photos)
1. The Frozen Ghost
There is such a thing as “too cold to haunt.” This unfortunate spirit seems to have been caught mid-scare during a record-breaking frost, ending up as a permanent (at least until spring) addition to the building’s architecture. It’s a perfect example of how a bit of ice and the right location can create an accidental masterpiece.
2. Giant Eyeglasses by Pavel Puhov in Russia
The late Pavel Puhov, also known as Pasha P183, was famous for his “street installations.” By using a simple streetlight as the temple piece for a giant pair of glasses drawn in the snow, he transformed a lonely park into a character. It’s a brilliant use of scale and existing urban elements.
3. Snow Angel Frog by David Zinn
David Zinn is the king of small-scale magic. Here, he’s used a simple hole in the snow to house one of his signature characters, making it look like the little guy just completed a very successful snow angel. It’s a quiet, whimsical interaction that rewards those who are actually looking where they walk.More!: This Is Amazing Art By David Zinn! (11 Photos)

4. The Mailbox Eater
This is one way to ensure you never get bills. Someone turned their mailbox into the wide-open mouth of a snow monster, complete with a leafy crown. It’s a great example of “guerrilla” winter art that turns a boring household chore into a reason for neighbors to stop and smile.
5. “Two Feet” of Snow
A literal pun is sometimes the best kind of art. Instead of complaining about the accumulation, these residents spent their time sculpting two massive, realistic feet on the sidewalk. It’s a visual joke that lands perfectly for anyone who has ever heard a weather report warn about “two feet of snow.”
6. Dromeas (The Runner) in Athens, Greece
Usually, this iconic sculpture made of stacked glass shards looks like it’s mid-sprint through the Mediterranean heat. But when a rare snowstorm hits Athens, the glass captures the white frost, making the “Runner” look like an ice-giant charging through the city. It shows how weather can completely redefine a permanent statue.
7. The Snow Cats
Simple, effective, and adorable. By packing snow against the bark of trees in a local park, someone created a family of white cats “climbing” to the safety of the branches. It’s a low-effort, high-impact way to add a bit of life to a dormant winter forest.
8. Sledding Into Reality by David Zinn
Another David Zinn masterpiece where the art “leaks” out of the environment. A tiny alien character is seen sledding out of a massive snow pile and onto the bare pavement. It’s a clever use of the transition between the shoveled path and the winter piles, making the sidewalk feel like a playground.More!: Happy Art by David Zinn (10 Photos)
