Artwork description:

Orange blossom is a favourite of mine and I have some citrus trees which inspired me to make this Linocut print. I started with a drawing and then I carved two printing plates out of , one for the oranges and one for the leaves. I printed the oranges first and once these were dry, carefully lined up the other plate and printed the leaves. I never have work reproduced digitally or by giclee printing. All of my prints are handmade by me using my etching press in my studio in York. I print onto handmade, archival Saxton paper which has a lovely texture. This print is one of a limited edition of 50. The prints are posted flat in a waterproof, reinforced envelope. I use Royal Mail to send artwork abroad and it is first class and tracked postage. Small items are sent first class with no tracking within the UK. If I find I have overcharged for postage and packaging, I refund the difference.
