Artwork description:

Next door is a little farmstead with a herd of 12 cows and a bull, all of whom often peer at me through my studio window. Also next door, is a hefty boar who lives with a number of random chickens and a boisterous cockerel in an enclosure surrounded by a thicket of trees. He is an affable chap and often I visit and chat with him when I am out with the dog. Here is a tiny etching inspired by him, and also by historic public houses in England.

This print is made on a copper plate using acid to etch the drawing into the plate. It is printed on Somerset Velvet, an off-white heavyweight 300 gsm handmade paper from St Cuthbert's Mill in Somerset. The print is in a limited edition of 75 and is signed and numbered by the artist. The image size is 8 x 10 cm on a paper size is 18 x 20 cm.
