"Weathered" is one in a series that is about natural elements.  Using oil and cold wax I build up layers into which I add textures and lines.  I love surface and texture because I am fascinated by what they hold, above and below, externally and internally, and in the layers in between.  The secrets held, the history lived, the mystery and touch of people passing through.  Oils and cold wax on cradled panel set in a painted tray frame, overall size 23 x 18cm
