Memories of winter 3

A collection of three mixed media painting inspired the dried remains of last years wild plants found along the river Deben in Suffolk. 

I used the faded, brittle stems, leaves and seed heads to make mono prints on tissue paper using a palette of colours to remind me of walking by the river on a cold winter’s day.

The translucent prints were arranged in layers with old book pages and painted papers. I then added areas of paint and ink to highlight the simple silhouettes some of which can barely be seen.

The finished piece was bonded to a cradled wooden panel making it ready to hang on a wall or deep enough to stand on a shelf.
