Spring in Mermaid Marsh

Charcoal, pencils, acrylic, and inks on watercolour paper mounted on wood panel.

24x24"

Spring in Mermaid Marsh is composed of 16 strips of varying widths from 5 different paintings that were painted on 300lb watercolour paper. The strips were mounted on a painted gallery depth birch wood panel using acrylic medium and the piece was finished with artist grade satin varnish.
This is one of over 10 different pieces that I created with the 90 strips that resulted from the 5 paintings in this colour family. They reminded me of fantastical summertime marshlands filled with magic.
