Joan on Bed Sustainable Materials Clematis Crystal Fountain is so'Joan on Bed' by Lawrence James Isherwood is a striking oil on board piece, rendered with loose, expressive brushwork and a bold, intuitive palette. Isherwood's approach lends emotional depth to the scene, as a reclining nude figure rests against a backdrop of deep emeralds, blues and ochres with characteristic rawness.
