Overy

 

Overy – a painting from the sketchbook. The sketchbook is where my mojo gets fed and where I am most free. The page first was a loosely painted coat of Gesso with a touch of blue and left to dry before painting. This adds a cool blue-white base note to the painting and it’s loose edges add to the energy of the painting.

‘Overy’ – is an Old English word meaning ‘over the water’. This isn’t a painting of Burnham Overy Staithe (Staithe is an Old English word meaning ‘landing place’) the Norfolk town that now lies a mile or so inland but it was once a busy port on the River Burn, but rather a celebration of ‘Overy’, another lovely Old English word!

The painting is shown uncropped and cropped, it’s amazing how different the image looks either way.

42 x 28 cm (approx. 16.5 x 11 inches) Acrylic on 200gm paper. Finished with a Matt varnish spray. Signed.

Photographed in natural light. Colours may look a bit different in real life, but have done my best to visually colour match!

Painting is UNFRAMED.
