Original artwork description:

This is an impressionistic painting of cow-parsley and wild grasses, swaying in the breeze under the Skirrid Mountain, in South Wales.
Local folklore says that the fissure on one side of the mountain was said to have been a split caused at the time of the crucifiction of Christ. It is therefore also known as Holy mountain, and has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries.
This painting is embellished with gold and silver leaf. It is fitted with a wire at the back. The painting wraps around the sides, so it is ready to hang.

Materials used:

Acrylic paint, inks, gold leaf, silver leaf
