The Spirit of Northumberland - Sycamore Gap - ORIGINAL PAINTING

The Spirit of Northumberland watercolour painting was created in response to the sad destruction of the famous tree that once stood at Sycamore Gap on Hadrian's Wall.
David was inspired to an create an etheral, almost ghostly outline of where the tree once stood. He envisioned a kind of memory or faint echo from the past, something that captured the essence of the tree without fully recreating its physical form. 
 
This is an ORIGINAL WATERCOLOUR  PAINTING.
 
This artwork is painted on archival quality watercolour paper using a blend of artists grade paints, including Windsor and Newton and Daniel Smith. The use of high quality materials such as these, will ensure that with the right care, this painting will maintain its original colouring over time.
