Artwork description:

nothing says summer like wheeling swallows and red poppies, green fields everywhere, a time to relish!
This is a large reduction linocut, reduction means that as I print the colors and sculpt the plate, I cut away the lino as I go along, leaving a lino plate I can't print more prints from, which is why it is also called "lost plate". There are only 10 prints, a very small edition.
Reduction lino is quite a difficult process as you have to register, that is, line up the plate and paper every single time you print, and with many colors, this amounts to a lot of patience and a print like this can take me over a week to make.
All my linocuts are handprinted by me, the artist, and I sign, title and number each print.

SIZE: The linocut itself measures 23,5" x 10.5", (60cm x 27cm )
and the beautiful piece of best quality
printmaking paper measures 27" x 16", (70cm x 40cm)
Linocuts are wonderful graphic pieces of printmaking, that can make for a real focal point in your room, you are so welcome to ask me about framing advice etc.

SHIPPING: I'll mail "Loveletter" to you with many years experience in packing my art so it arrives safely, see my many happy reviews.

If you have any questions just get in touch..... that's what I am here for!

Thanks for looking and welcome back.
