This original one-off painting is based on a photo that Gillian took in Peru, looking down on a river where local women were sat on rocks by the river washing clothes in the water. The image is painted in acrylic on canvas with added mixed media elements to create rough textures. The multitude of shapes that make up the composition are brought to life with a warm blend of tones that reflect Gillian’s characteristic earthy palette. The box canvas is painted on the sides and signed by Gillian in the bottom-right hand corner.
