SECRETS 50 x 50 cm mixed media on canvas/MDF
"The theme is "What lies beneath....". Leading on from the Elements series, this painting started as an abstract of the Wiltshire landscape, using acrylic washes , inks , rock salt, fine twigs.
When all this was dry I drew the ammonite in water-colour pencils, sealed with clear varnish, and then applied gold leaf .
The original theme has opened up so many avenues to explore; I hope to have one or two more completed or in progress for the Open Studios weekends."
