…latest work from my new studio, just completed.
I’m still thinking up a title for the second piece.
Both acrylic/mixed media on canvas and inspired by the early spring light on the creeks at Thornham and Holme saltmarshes (Norfolk)…
Reflected light. Mari French 2013.
untitled, Mari French 2013.
new work produced this week, with the saltmarsh at Thornham on the north Norfolk coast, once again as my main inspiration…
acrylic/mixed media on canvas, 60x80cm
Saltmarsh, early Spring. Mari French 2013
… four new small experimental abstract pieces, in collage/tissue/mixed media, two are directly influenced by memories of Venice.
I relish working in this medium as an alternative to my larger canvas works. The addition of gold acrylic paint has been an unexpected effective addition when used in small amounts.
In these small pieces, I also used mono printing with muslin; glazing medium and graphite powder; acrylic inks; and singed (with candle flame) Lokta tissue.
