This quirky and unusual mixed media picture has a wonderful freshness. It is entitled The Sails Dropt Down and is by the artist Craig Askew.
Set within a simple painted wooden frame, the piece is made from driftwood and other found materials. It has been decorated with images from some of Craig’s original drawings and these have been applied into the hand painted surface.
As a painter, sculptor, illustrator and printmaker Craig is always engaged in the making process and is constantly searching out and developing new ways of creating work and is currently exploring and experimenting on different surfaces.

Craig’s style has a simple, likeable immediacy with wide appeal.
Based on the border of Somerset and Devon, he has been creating art based on the sea and coastline for many years with much of his inspiration coming from the seaside villages of Cornwall, Devon and Dorset.
His work is shown in many galleries predominantly in the South West of England.
