Nature's Jetty

'Nature's Jetty' offers a bird's eye view of Bude's distinctive rock formations as they pierce the coastal waters like nature's own harbours. These remarkable geological features have been shaped by the elements through the centuries, and in darker times drove fear into mariners whose ships were lured onto these rocks by the notorious wreckers.

This is an original mixed media painting - charcoal, hand made local earth pigment paint and acrylic on canvas.

The natural materials for the paint have been gathered from the Bude area, processed by hand and left in a fairly coarse state to add texture.

Paintings containing these natural materials literally have the land that inspired them in the artwork, bringing a real sense of the landscape into the work. They inform the choice of colour palette to ensure an authentic feel and connection to the subject.

The painting is 40cm by 40cm and is supplied in an off-white float frame with fixings for wall hanging.

Mixed media on canvas.

Signed on the reverse with certificate of authenticity.
