The glorious chalk stream

Plant based eco acrylic and handmade pigments on linen 60 x 85cm canvas plus bespoke wooden frame ready to hang.

“A chalk river or stream is a watercourse that is influenced by chalk bedrock. They are fed primarily by spring water from a chalk aquifer, not surface water, which means they have clear, cold water and very stable flows. They are rich in minerals, which provides an ideal habitat for wildlife such as water voles, brown trout, otters and mayflies. Wiltshire is home to a globally important chalk stream, the Salisbury Avon, and its tributaries: the Wylye, Nadder, Bourne and Ebble.” – Wiltshire Wildlife Trust.

I wanted to really highlight the beauty and importance of these chalk streams we have locally, using local photography for reference, the species featured are: Wild Brown Trout, Graylings, Mayfly, Kingfisher and Water Crowfoot.
