Mary Potter - Bay Leaves, 1975
View through Artsy
An important late work which was included in Mary Potter's Retrospective at the Serpentine Gallery in 1981.
We can see notable motifs which Mary Potter included in many of her works of this time the circle and leaf form.
The technique of mixing beeswax with oil paint for impasto areas and marble dust with oil paint for flatness and chalkiness of colour are evident.
