Using the drawing as a point of inspiration she created a richly layered oil painting in cold wax, glazes and a wide variety of mark making tools to create depth and visual interest. The painting is finished with a technique that creates an even and vibrant surface and is professionally framed in pewter float frame. Signed front and back, it's ready to hang.
