The Lost Pond

Limited Edition Print - 1/100, unframed. 

Signed print with a 1" border & certificate of authenticity. 

The original artwork was shown at The Other Art Fair, with Saatchi Art. Featured in curated collections with Saatchi Art, the August issue of Suboart Magazine & Women United Art Movement Magazine. My inspiration for the piece comes from a little pond hidden away in the heart of Epping Forest. It has such a peaceful & eerie tranquillity about it. ..I just had to paint it!

The Lost Pond’s other lesser-known local name which is the “Suicide Pool” derived from a local story about a lovestruck young couple who are rumoured to have ended their lives there following the discovery of their relationship by the girl’s father, this may be a rumour that has circulated for many years. There is a mystery about the place., with stunning green algae that floats on the pond. I painted the piece on birchwood to give a grained texture beneath the oil paints, which shows through the brush strokes. I hope I have captured the essence of the pond in my artwork.
