The print comes unframed.
I spent over two months designing and printing.
My inspiration comes from the style of William Morris who I think created beautiful prints. It is an Art Nouveau style.
My studio is in a rural area, and I can hear the sheep, horses and goats as I sit and paint.
I love animals and therefore love to paint them.
This is a varied edition. Each print is hand-printed and is slightly different. I may have used the roller slightly differently or mixed a colour slightly differently.
Therefore, when making a choice, it is useful to select the edition, which will show you the enlarged picture.
It is a reduced lino print, in the sense that more lino is cut away for each of the colour layers. Once I complete a layer and start cutting into the lino, there is no turning back and mistakes cannot be corrected or changes made, so a lot of care and planning is required. This image has 12 cutting and printing layers.
On Youtube, I have posted a video of the process.
