Original artwork description:

what would happen if our world as humans came to an end but the rest of the world carried on. Oh what a cheery subject I hear you say!! I thought this whilst driving through Southampton with its industrial very urban setting. Wondering how long it would take nature to reclaim this landscape.
This image originates from a photo I took near the docks . I transferred it from copy on to gessoed board by hand then painted in the wildlife!! I love this idea of nature and urban decay and will definitely do more!!

Materials used:

Black and white photocopy from photo, acrylic, gold leaf,
