Original mixed media painting/Winter Storm

A large framed  original mixed media painting by Orkney artist Jane Glue.

This picture is painted on to heavy 300IB weight deckled edge watercolour paper.The view in this painting is of looking towards the island of Copinsay from Dinghieshowe beach in Deerness on my island home of Orkney on a wild winters day in January. Dinghieshowe is a beautiful 'secret' shoreline as the beach is hidden behind a bank of  high sand dunes which lie on the side of the main road. I really like all the textures and colours in this image which were created by using a mixture of ink, watercolours and added collage including a vintage Orkney map to represent the clouds in the sky. The cow parsley and other fauna and flora in the foreground have been created by using a mixture of more collage and drawing with an old fashioned dip pen and the deckled edge of the paper has been left exposed. 

The overall size of this framed painting is 950X730mm. It has been framed using a wide white wood bevelled moulding 65mm wide and 40mm deep. I have used perspex instead of glass for the glazing because of the size and weight of the picture, this also makes postage much easier. The actual image size is 770X560mm with a 15mm ivory mount board surround.
