Rich in authentic British species, the pool features water lilies, duckweed, whirligig beetles, pond skaters and a Rudd fish. \n.\nHer own scales and fins mimic those of the Rudd. A soft glow emanates from her, with golden highlights sparking off the surrounding plants. \n.\n\nPond Spirit evolved out of my passion for folklore: a freshwater maiden assembled from years of collecting myths, stories and strange little pieces of the natural world. She very much belongs to the water cryptid mythological archetype. \n\n----\n\nAT A GLANCE:\n.\nOne-of-a-kind original artwork\n.\nA4 portrait format: 29.7 x 21cm\n.\nWatercolour, coloured pencils and Posca pens\n.\nPainted on heavyweight 300gsm watercolour paper\n.\nSold unframed\n.\nFree tracked UK delivery\n----\nCOLOUR PALETTE:\n.\nDeep turquoise, inky indigo, vibrant greens and yellows, bold red fins and soft pinks on the lily. \n.\n----\n\nTHEMATIC INFLUENCES:\n.\nBritish ecology \n.\nBritish folklore: the lady of the lake, shellycoat, Jenny Greenteeth, Gwragedd Annwn\n.\nBrazilian folklore: Iara\n.\nBen Aaronovitch's Rivers of London book series influences how I think about genius loci / spirits of place\n.\n----\n\nFRAMING\n.\n\nThe artwork fits a standard A4 frame without a mount or an A3 frame with an A4 mount.
