"The Bell Carrier" or "The Vision of St Gwynllyw". Depicting a large bull with a bell on its back, the bronze statue was inspired by the story of St Gwynllw's conversation to Christianity and now stands at the Newport Riverfront. "Gwynllyw was a Warrior King well known for being a law unto himself like this. After the birth of his eldest son, he went on a wild celebratory raid on Gwent with his fearless Warband. Among other livestock, he stole the cow of St. Tathyw of Caerwent, who promptly arrived at the Royal Court of Gwynllwg and demanded it back. The King would not let the two go however, until Tathyw had baptised his new-born son into the Christian faith - almost certainly an action suggested by the Queen. In later life, Gwynllyw had a dream in which God appeared and told him he would find a valuable white oxen on Stow Hill. Having found the beast the next day, the King was so impressed that he allowed his son, St. Cadog, to convert him to Christianity. He then founded the Church of St. Mary (St. Woolos' Cathedral, Newport) where the ox was found. Gwynllyw was buried there upon his death in 29th March AD 523, at which time he became reverred as a saint." - http://www.britannia.com . .

I don’t think I can do the whole “this day in history” at the moment. This was supposed to go out yesterday but the little man had other plans. Anyway... . . . . "On April 12, 1961, aboard the spacecraft Vostok 1, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin becomes the first human being to travel into space. During the flight, the 27-year-old test pilot and industrial technician also became the first man to orbit the planet, a feat accomplished by his space capsule in 89 minutes. Vostok 1 orbited Earth at a maximum altitude of 187 miles and was guided entirely by an automatic control system. The only statement attributed to Gagarin during his one hour and 48 minutes in space was, “Flight is proceeding normally; I am well.”...(History Channel) ————————————————— Size: card 4” x 4” | image: 30cm Watercolour on paper ————————————————— #Vostok1 #YuriGagarin #cosmonaught #space #makinghistory #miniatureart #miniart #tinyart #art #art_collective #dailyart #illustration #instaartexplorer #global_artworks #miniature #miniart #miniatureart #sharingart #supportartists #tinyart #top_watercolor #watercolor #waterblog #watercolorist #worldofartists #artistsoninstagram #instagramart #lilinklings

Fun fact! The welsh translation for badger is “Mochyn daear”. (Pronounced: Mokh-inn day-arr) Literally translates to “Earth pig”...🌎🐖 _______________________________________ Titled: Earth Pig Size: 4”x4” (card) 30cm x 30cm (image) #earthpig #miniatureart #tinyart #lilinklings #adrianhotter #instart #badger #uk #watercolours #miniturist #wildlifeart #art #miniature

Title: Little Wood Mouse Size:4” x 4” (card) 30cm x 30cm (image) ____________________________________ “...I saw a little Wood-Mouse once, Like Oberon in his hall, With the green, green moss beneath his feet, Sit under a Mushroom tall. I saw him sit and his dinner eat, All under the forest tree; His dinner of Chestnut ripe and red, And he ate it heartily. I wish you could have seen him there; It did my spirit good, To see the small thing God had made Thus eating in the wood. I saw that He regardeth them -- Those creatures weak and small; Their table in the wild is spread, By Him who cares for all! by Mary Botham Howitt” _____________________________________ #tinyart #watercolour #miniature #miniart #miniaturist #lilinklings #woodmouse #instart
