Original artwork description:

Using both location digital photographs and archive historic scanned original photographs, both have been added as part of a richly layered process in the form of mixed media painting combined with photo transfer images to form an intertwined, textured and narrative elements to the painting.

The Painting harnesses both a sense of place and a passing of time with content. The graphic addition of the date stone rubbing (taken from above one of the lintels of the main doors to the ruined cottage in the painting), serves as a timely reminder of a bygone age linking place to trace elements of the people who worked and lived in this landscape within this richly layered expressive painting honouring the land of our forefathers in the South Pennines.

When buying this painting it will be dispatched carefully packaged in a large thick cardboard box with the artwork generously mounted (3 inch surrounding the artwork at least) and cellophane wrapped with a back board secured behind the artwork that is the full size of the mount.

The original mounted artwork will then be placed between sheets of thick cardboard. Further cushioning with bubble wrap will be included to the sides of the artwork in the box to protect it.
