Weir and old industry (2019) Original Oil Painting by Gav Banns

It was an unseasonably warm February's day when I took a walk along the river Vienne where the old industry decays along the river's edge. It is a day I will always remember because I found two cats in the river just a few metres from this scene; one heavily pregnant, and a kitten close to death, and with a little effort was able to save them both. The kitten stayed with me (after 3 days fighting for life at the vets), and the other cat gave birth to healthy kittens two weeks later. She was named Vienne after the river and was found a good home.

The oil painting uses the finest oil paints, and has been given six months before varnishing. It is sized 46cm x 38cm and painted on canvas attached to a board.
