TITLE:	REED BED
INSPIRATION:	This sculpture was inspired by one of my most favourite places, Seasalter, on the North Kent Coast.  A very unspoiled, uncrowded beach originally owned by the Diocese of Canterbury for the collection of salt.  There is a wonderful array of birds and the area is very famous for the collection of shellfish, which I spent many happy hours gathering as a child.  Across from the Beach lays large areas of marsh with numerous reed beds and upon visiting there on a glorious still August afternoon this year, was captivated by the late summer sun shining through the reeds.
PRICE:	£175 Please use currency converter below
DIMENSIONS:	20"W x 30"H x 1½"D  (51cm x 76cm x 3.8cm)
COLOURS:	Red/orange hues, terracotta and burnt sienna (brown).  The reeds are washed with bronze, copper and hand-mixed gold metallics.  The bullrushes in liquid gold leaf.
DETAILS:	Using a triple primed Loxley professional canvas lines of very wet paper pulp are dribbled onto the surface to form the reeds.  The bullrushes, made out of paper pulp, are then applied and sculpted.  The whole sculpture is then left to dry, usually for a week or more if the ambient temperature is low or the pulp is very thick.  It is then sealed again before being layered with professional quality acrylic paints, two coats of varnish are then applied  to preserve this beautiful work of art. The sides are textured and painted, so there is no need to frame and therefore ready to hang straightaway. A Certificate of Authenticity, stating details of the sculpture, signed and dated by the artist, will be included. Care Instructions will also be included.
