The Great Fen: Artists for Nature in England

Description:

This fabulous collection of the work of 30 British artists depicts in a variety of styles, the landscapes and wildlife of England’s fenland at Woodwalton Fen and Holme Fen National Nature Reserves. The artwork included ranges from field sketches of birds and other animals, detailed botanical and entomological studies, landscapes that are instantly recognisable and landscapes that are almost abstract, sculptures using scrap metal found in the area, and transient paintings of dragonflies on bog oaks dug from the peat.
