Line and wash |
On the top of one of the embankments that surround the village of Avebury in Wiltshire (best known for the stone circle that also surrounds it), I found a group of trees with roots exposed by erosion. The pattern of - or, rather, the random shapes created by - the tree roots was wonderfully fascinating and I just knew that there was potential for a vibrant artwork there.
So far, I have tried two interpretations.
Edit: There are now more:
Number 3, on paper
Number 4, on canvas, for The Princes Trust
