From the Shadows; Mars Attacks! ... by Mark Braithwaite
Farmageddon is upon us!
Continuing Mark's Farm-aggedon series. Now the UFO's have come back for the entire farm!
Special thanks to the artist's daughter for the idea behind this fun painting.
Inspired by 1950s sci-fi, Mark has painted an invasion of spaceships, arriving out of a stunning magenta sky lit by lightning strikes.
The little green men are beaming up the poor old farmer - having lost cows, sheep, pigs, dog, horses, ducks, his tractor, the farm and Mrs Farmer to Mars Attacks this week, the alien invaders have finally come back for the farmer himself!
Following on from the success of his 'Zombie Apocalypse' series, Gallery Resident Artist Mark Braithwaite has expanded the range to create the 'From the Shadows' collection, of other supernatural beings and mystical happenings. York is the most haunted city in Europe after all, so he's not short of inspiration!
Mark tells us "This is the latest in my fun series of spooky illustrations, 'From the Shadows' painted in watercolour and mixed media. In the sky I have used Schminke Horadam Supergranulation watercolours which made the unusual skies happen, and Opal paint, which create an iridescent effect."
The painting has been mounted in a stylish white mount with a black core. The outer mount measures 40x40cm; a standard metric size. The painting can be framed in a wide distressed black wood and glass frame.
Prints are also available.
