Original artwork description:

This is my current Owl painting - completed in my exclusive 'Art on Leather' style. Completed on lightly textured leather which is stretched over a box frame and ready to wall hang. The reason for using leather as a medium to paint on is often asked. In this case as with all of my leather art, the leather hide chose is not by accident. The texture and colour must add to the composition, in this case the size of texture perfectly added to the semi-3D effect. Some artists prepare the ground to give texture. I use the natural and random texture of leather in the same way. The painting process I have developed over the past 10+ years has enabled me to exploit a feature that many mediums avoid. My leather art is not behind glass. The process and materials I use means that the leather art is waterproof and should be seen and appreciated - including touching as you can sculpture. I paint art on leather jackets as well so the process is well proven. So if you are looking for art that is innovative this could be what you are looking for.. Shipping to UK destinations only.
