Jurassic Ammonite - Print

Limited edition prints of an original watercolour painting by Bryony Caswell. Original watercolour painting by Bryony Caswell. 

"Ammonites" uses golds, bronze, midnight blue, purples and reds to depict Jurassoic ammonites present in the rocks of North Yorkshire. These accumulations of flattened golden ammonites are common in North Yorkshire coastal sections, and may reflect mass mortalities during Jurassic climate change and stagnant ocean conditions. This is the first of a series, that is very experimental using different mediums, metallic and iridescent paints to build up relief and convey the beautiful shiny pyritised Harpoceras ammonites against the dark organic rich mudrocks. The printed image measures 16 cm x 16 cm with a 2.5 cm border.
