Fossiling (2017)

Original media: Inks, gouache, acrylics, pencils, watercolour, gold leaf and gold thread

I wanted to call this painting 'Mayonnaise at Robin Hoods Bay'. On a half term fossiling expedition with my children and their cousins, my little niece Clara got so cold and wet that she howled all the way back along the beach; the only recognisable word was 'Mayonnaise!". She was warmed up and calmed down with a beach picnic of chips and mayonnaise.

This painting was part of the 'Big Skies & Old Stones' collection for Chantry House Gallery, Ripley.

Available as a mounted and signed limited edition print – unframed. Hand-finished with gold leaf and gold thread.
