Original artwork description:

This little pond is hidden away in the heart of Epping Forest, it has such a peaceful & eerie tranquillity about it. ..I just had to paint it!

The Lost Pond’s other lesser-known local name which is the “Suicide Pool” derived from a local story about a lovestruck young couple who are rumoured to have ended their lives there following the discovery of their relationship by the girl’s father, this may be a rumour that has circulated for many years. There is a mystery about the place.

There is a mystery about the place., with stunning green algae that floats the pond. The birchwood gives a grained texture beneath the oil paints, which shows through the brush strokes. I hope I have captured the essence of the pond in my artwork

Materials used:

birchwood, oil paint
