Original mixed media painting in gouache, pastel, graphite, ink and structura ground (to provide texture) on Bockingford Watercolour paper (425gm/sq m), white matt surface and acid free.

"I often use a place to explore thoughts and ideas that interest me, as well as the process of painting itself. The Ferry and its classical references is a theme I keep coming back to. Crossing over to some other place. Crossing The River Styx and ghostly figures in The Aeneid."
