BIRD AND PERCH

No walk today!  It's a bank holiday and Jenny expected visitors. I did think of going on my own but the rain put me off, so instead I went into my warm, dry studio and worked on pieces inspired by what we have picked up on our walks. 

This piece of wood was lying on the ground.  Immediately, I could see the shape of a bird and a branch so I set about creating a background on which to mount it. This was done on a 7 x 5 inch canvas board with layers of collaged papers, including maps, text, music, my own painted papers and a copy of a photograph taken on one of our walks, plus gesso.

I then signed it,  put it into a painted frame and it was finished!
