Sampling - Fred Fowle - Mecury

Mercury is the God of Speed and was therefore commonly used within Fowles work to reflect the speed and excitement of the rides he was decorating. 

In this sample I have replicated the version of mercury painted on Jimmy Bowrys skid. This wasn't painted by Fowle and instead is painted by Jimmy himself but it is similar to Fowle's work. The piece is done on paper in acrylic. If this piece was done by Fowle it would be on plywood over a layer of aluminium leaf using flamboyant paints.
