This is an Artist’s Proof from one of my sold-out multi-block linocut editions from 2017. It features a small chiffchaff perched among the branches of a pine tree, framed by gorse bushes heavy with berries and bright yellow ragwort.

The piece was inspired by a visit to Norfolk’s Holme Beach Nature Reserve and is painted in a cheerful mustard yellow, with pink and green accent colours. It’s a joyful burst of colour and a perfect antidote to the grey, gloomy start of the year.

It has a small printing error - see photo

An artist's proof is an impression of a print taken in the printmaking process to see the current printing state of a plate while the plate is being worked on by the artist and to test the colours of an edition. It will therefore differ to the rest of the edition. Because there are fewer of them in existence some art collectors deem them to be of more value.

Printed with oil based inks on 300gsm Somerset Velvet Paper
