Bluebell Contemplation, framed (2016)Linocut by Alexandra Buckle

This is print 8/15, the last unsold print in this edition!

A reduction linocut of a carpet of bluebells in an imaginary woodland, with bright light shining through the trees.
In anticipation of spring and of bluebells emerging... This print was completed on a grey, rainy, wintry day to cheer myself up! The scene is solely from my memory and imagination - unusual for me as I normally rely quite heavily on my own photos for guidance.

A reduction print is a relief print formed with layers of colour that are cut and printed from the same block, in this case, from lino. This is one of a small edition of prints, all of which are printed by hand so small variations occur between them making each one truly original.

This work is printed with water-based, light-fast inks on Somerset Satin paper and has a beautiful matt finish. It is numbered 8/15, titled and signed at the bottom, mounted in a neutral colour and framed in 21mm natural oak. .

This artwork will be packaged well in a bubble envelope with plenty of card support for safety.
