Rye Harbour Nature Reserve I: Go Your Own Way

Description

Original Artwork

“The first original from the wonderful project with Sussex Wildlife Trust, recording the life of Rye Harbour over the course of a year. This was inspired by an experience I had at Denny Hide. There were a huge amount of coots, more than I’ve ever seen outside London, and they were all heading in one direction. Unfortunately for a little grebe, it wanted to go in the opposite direction and had to dodge past the coots, some of whom seemed to object. It was a bit fraught for a while, but the little grebe’s determination meant it got where it wanted to go. A happy ending for everyone.

I use un-primed linen canvas, treated with a very diluted gesso, as the base for a my artworks. I then complete the drawing in biro. once this is complete, I then varnish the work before working in white and black oil paints. This adds light, shadow, atmosphere and drama to create the final artwork.”

Framing

I frame my own originals and I try to keep them as simple as possible, to keep the focus on the art itself.

Shipping

At present, I can only ship to the UK via the website. I can ship to other destinations, but I’ll need you to get in touch, using the contact me form, for a quote if buying from outside the UK.

All the art I sell is packaged extremely carefully, to keep your painting safe for it’s journey, no matter how far. I have years of experience packaging original artworks for transport to all parts of the world, so you can have faith your unique piece of art will arrive safe and sound. This can take some time, especially with original paintings, however, I aim to ship all art within 2 working days.
