Chornobyl Reclaimed Original Painting - acrylic art of radioactive woods

A Chornobyl scene covered in woodland - trees and plants have taken over where towns and villages once stood. The only hint of a past street is a lamppost hidden amongst the trees in the distance. The trees fade into a hazy blue sky, where the silhouette of a few small birds can be seen flying. Shady plants grow underneath the canopy of leaves, until the trees start to reach a clearing and bright yellow flowers grow, attracting butterflies and bees. On the surface the scene looks perfectly pleasant, the most unusual thing is an odd branch growing in a strange position, but underneath the ground and seeping into the trees is a hidden danger - radiation. This original artwork is painted in acrylics on a 30cm (12") square canvas with deep 3.5cm (1.4") edges. Areas of the painting are built up with modeling paste, to make this slightly 3D on the ground. with the green representing the hidden radiation in the cracks. The image carries on over the edge of the canvas so there is no need for framing, and the canvas comes with a string on the back so it is ready for hanging. The painting will be packaged with cardboard and bubblewrap to prevent any damage during shipping and will be sent Royal Mail Special Delivery. If sold, 25% of the item price of this painting will be donated to AUGB's Help Ukraine fund.
