Guarding the Nettles (2016) Linocut by Mariann Johansen-Ellis

Guardians of the Nettles, tasty and fresh greens, a funny bird, the goose, regal, yet silly!

"Guarding the nettles" is printed from 2 separate plates, the bottom plate is rolled up in the 3 different colors of blue, green and the yellow of the beaks, I roll up very freehand, so there are variations from print to print, no print is exactly like the next, something I hope you will appreciate as part of an original print. On top of this, I print the geese, they are actually 2 plates, with some smaller pieces of carved lino that I roll up in a dark green, that complements the print very well!
All my linocuts are handprinted by me, the artist, and I sign, title and number each print.
"Guarding the Nettles" is printed in a short edition of 75 prints,
please note, you might not receive the number seen in the photograph and there are minor color variations.

The linocut itself measures 13" x 22", (33cm x 56cm )
and the beautiful piece of best quality crisp white printmaking paper
measures 25" x 17", (64cm x 44cm)

Linocuts are wonderful graphic pieces of printmaking, that can make for a real focal point in your room, framing advice at the bottom of the page! Please note the home interior photo is not entirely to scale.

I'll mail your linocut to you protected by many years of experience in packing my prints, see my over 1100 reviews.

Thanks for looking and welcome back.
