Original artwork description:
The two figures in my picture are inspired by patterns of weathered stone and lichen on sandstone cliffs by the river.
About sandstone:
In my past, I lived in Sydney, Australia.
On weekends I spent hours drawing
the rock formations along the Hawkesbury River.
I was lost in the river spirit, with its cliffs, caves and huge flat ledges.
Images etched by ancient indigenous inhabitants survived.
On one such occasion, I collected pieces of coloured stone in yellow, purple, white and red tones. These I ground to powder and stored for future use.
In the year 2013, I became inspired to use the coloured sandstone in this series of paintings.
Materials used:
Mixed media. Acrylic paints and white oil stick. Textured finish is ground sandstone sprinkled onto polymer glue. Securely sealed with matt varnish. Surface: 240 gsm cartridge paper.
