A high quality giclée print of the original vine charcoal drawing (The original may still be available, please get in contact if you are interested)
‘Draining the Levels’ is a captivating charcoal piece created on white paper in 2023. This artwork was inspired by the flooding season near his home in Somerset, UK. Bob’s intent was to capture the essence of the morning mist that lingers at this time of year, softening the entire scene.
To bring this vision to life, Bob relied on a combination of preliminary sketches, photographs, and a social media post. These elements allowed him to meticulously capture the atmosphere of this low-lying part of the UK. The misty mornings and the subtle changes in the landscape, influenced by global warming, are beautifully represented in this piece.
‘Draining the Levels’ is more than just a work of art; it is a poignant representation of the changing climate. The flooding season depicted in the artwork is a reminder of the slow but steady impact of global warming on our environment. Bob’s ability to encapsulate this in a single piece showcases his exceptional skill and deep understanding of the subject matter.
This charcoal piece offers viewers a moment of reflection on the impermanent beauty of nature and the undeniable influence of climate change. Bob’s ‘Draining the Levels’ stands as a testament to the power of art in conveying important environmental messages, making it a significant addition to his collection.
