Scree and Shale

Landscapes should give the sense of awe and timelessness, and this is paramount to me when I am painting a landscape.

This striking landscape takes the best from multiple mediums to create a unique statement for any area.
The fast- moving clouds are captured in an ink wash and the clouds are textured with a light layer of white oil paint.
The timeless mountains are formed from layers of antique 1929 newspaper, carefully protected in a layer of clear varnish. The addition of foil, allow the ever-changing mountain slope, as the light in the room changes the shade of the foil from dark to luminous.

***Commission me - I can make something similar in a bespoke size***
