'The Abbey' (2019) Print

Painted (mixed media, Oil/acrylic etc.) and drawn from memory of a visit and (long) observational sketches of Roche Abbey. (Christmas day 2018) https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/roche-abbey/ Forms and sketchbook work as the angles of the archways and demolished/suppressed former Abbey were noted and retained then used to subscribe and formulate the later canvas. Details of which have been used online previously for other digital designs/'merchandise'. A choice of ranged pigmentation was aligned to that of 'Sanguine' or the yellowish/ochre type stonework invading every aspect of vision within the field of the canvas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanguine Materials were also experimented with using plastics/resins, and coloured glazzes and 'surface preparations' to 'enhance brushwork': this LOW QUALITY digital image does not show this. Research into the Area and Abbey, revealed the stoneworks were re-used or, even, previously found in nearly most structures in the larger area due to the valley being amongst others a natural quarry, for this kind of limestone for many centuries. https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/6955/1/IR05048.pdf recently re-photographed by Philip Metcalf.
