Original artwork description:

Dance in Fields of Gold aims to capture the fleeting golden moment at the end of a summer’s day when the low light gild’s every flower and stem. I leave a patch of Rosebay Willowherb (aka Fireweed) in my garden so that I can draw it through the seasons as the graceful leafy stems begin to flower, opening from the bottom to the top and slowly turn to seedpods. I enjoyed painting the details of the flowers – how they contrasted with the more abstract background.

The professional quality acrylic paints were applied to heavy weight paper with rollers, palette knives, stencils and sponges in layers of colour. I added collage by cutting shapes from my own hand-painted sheets and glueing them with archival acrylic medium. The drawn lines are graphite or water-soluble crayons which are permanently fixed. The painting continues to edges of the paper. Signed on the front.

It comes unframed, wrapped in cellophane on a board, shipped flat-packed in a strong box.

Materials used:
