Tired and Muddy Miniature

A nod to the reality of the mudlarking process, Tired and Muddy focuses on a pair of weathered rubber boots resting after a long expedition along the shore. Painted with expressive, textured brushwork, the piece highlights the muddy, slathered surfaces of the wellies against a dark background. Enclosed in a traditional reddish-wood and gold inner frame, this miniature brings a warm, personal human narrative to the collection of riverbank finds.
