River Wye, Derbyshire Painting

Dianna Lee's artwork is also named Artywood derived from her unique painting skills onto oak panels using the wood grain. She is known in her local beautiful rural county of Derbyshire, England for this style of painting, a modern concept using the beauty of the wood grain to enhance the picture. Painting art onto wood panels was a tradition popularly used by artists until the 16th century. Now a days this has been re-visited as an alternative to canvas painting. Dianna takes this tradition to a new dimension, wood grain painting, using the natural beauty of oak grain for the 'lay of the land' in landscapes, 'water ripples', 'back drops' in floral paintings and other effects. Each panel is edged in plain oak to naturally frame every painting. The original painting can be hung straight away. Some pieces have additional frames framed to a high standard by a bespoke framer. Every piece of art is signed and is sent with a certificate of authentication. Each piece is unique.
