Original artwork description:

Currently I have been working on some large paintings on heavy weight watercolour paper, drawing on the research I did last year, examining the river's water from its source down in the centre of Todmorden. This painting is multi-layered, and much of the imagery is from a visit to the river close to the centre of town, where it is possible to walk on a path down below river level, and look up through the layers of water. The painting is made with oil paint, onto paper 5 ft x 4 ft.
The painting has been shown in solo exhibitions, and will hang very well from a batten with another batten at the bottom of the painting, so there is no need to frame.

Materials used:

Artists oil paint, gesso, varnish
