in themes and techniques, and he uses a diverse range of mediums and methods.

| Neptunes Daughter |
|
|
| Mixed media on board 24" x 32" £2800 |
Neptune’s Daughter was inspired by the sinking in Lyme
Bay, of the container ship, Napoli, in early 2007. The environmental tragedy that followed with oiled wildlife and poisoned
water, encouraged Neil to paint this fantasy image of the sea god Neptune finding his daughter poisoned
by the pollution. He saw it as a suitable symbol for the beauty that is unintentionally destroyed and
the helplessness of those who are affected by the fall out of these events.
