Artwork description:

Limited Edition colour linocut of the ice rink in front of Hampton Court Palace.

This is a large linocut made using several carved blocks of lino, one for each colour. The ink is transferred to the paper by rubbing the back with a baren and a wooden spoon. (Takes a while!).

The actual print is 39cm wide and 28cm high (roughly A3 - so fairly large).

This is an edition of 50, and, as always with linocuts, each print will vary slightly since they are produced by hand. Each print is numbered, titled and signed on the front by me, the artist.

I love the growth in recent decades of seasonal outdoor ice rinks in scenic spots, and they have been the subject of several of my linocuts, and will be in the future, as well.

The linocut is printed in oil-based inks on acid free paper and comes with a mount which brings the overall size to 50cm by 40cm - which is a common size and easy to frame. It will be delivered with a backing board and cellophane wrap.

International orders will be sent without a mount, rolled with acid-free tissue paper in a tube.

Materials used:

oil-based printing inks, colour, lino
