After a harvest
Along the banks of the River Dart as one walks away from the town, following a path behind the boat yard, there are glimpses of the fields on the other side of the river. Peeping through the shadows of the trees, the late summer sun cast wonderful organic shadows in the harvested fields. The land in this work belongs to the Duke of Somerset. At this point the developers have not got to it and so through out the year I can still capture the changing seasons. This is looking North toward Town Farm.
This is a mixed media work on a Fabriano paper. I have built up layers of a ground with gesso and found natural pigments including some lovely Bideford Black. Bideford black was used to camouflage tanks during WW2 and was later purchased by Max Factor to make mascara. The work is bonded with several layers of a natural shellac.
