Dogger Bank Under Fog - Sea Area Dogger Size:Large Canvas Framed in White broken by the booming foghorns

broken by the booming foghorns of the ferries

a beautiful spot a long way from anywhere at the southern tip of Ireland only to find all of the boats lifted out of the sea for the winter

I guess it's half painting and half photography

The canvas is then stretched over the stretcher frame so we can assemble the whole piece and add a wire for hanging the picture

The foreground and cardinal are from a photograph I took one very wild morning

The photograph is printed on the very best archival matte canvas, hand coated in a matte varnish we import from America, and then left flat to dry for a few days. This means the picture can be cleaned with a damp cloth, and the great thing about a matte finish with no glass is that you have no distracting glare or reflections. It's a much more direct experience.
