Original artwork description:

Our landscape is layered in both history and time. The use of the land changes over millennia as we 'claim', use, settle and then pass back the land after use or abandon it to nature again which reclaims it. We leave our legacy from a bygone age in the form of abandoned homesteads and crumbling walls. The Pennines is steeped in such history.

This richly layered mixed media painting (using right agreed historical archive images), has been created using my own location photographs and drawings with historical photographs in combination with mixed media to create an expression of place and journey through time in a very unique way.

When buying this painting it will be dispatched carefully packaged in a large thick cardboard box with the artwork generously mounted (3 inch surrounding the artwork at least) and cellophane wrapped with a back board secured behind the artwork that is the full size of the mount.

The original mounted artwork will then be placed between sheets of thick cardboard. Further cushioning with bubble wrap will be included to the sides of the artwork in the box to protect it.

I will sent via a tracked courier, insured to the value of the artwork.
