Artwork description:

It takes someone really strong to ride the tiger, just like you!

This is a handprinted linocut, I cut the linoleum with sharp knives, it is a bit like sculpting the plate, and direction of cut, thickness of the cut etc all paly a vital role in how the image will look when printed. I then roll up the lino plate with black ink and print it onto a crisp white heavy weight piece of printmaking paper.
Once dry I sign and number the print, the geese are printed in a limited edition of only 50 prints.
Please note you might not receive the number in the photo.
This print fits right into a ready made frame.

The piece of paper measures 14" x 15" (36 cm x 48 cm )
and the actual printed image measures 12" x 12" (30 cm x 30 cm )
When buying prints, a good tip is to cut a piece of paper to this size, that gives you a much better idea of the size than anything else.

I ship from my studio in Denmark, with a lot of experience of shipping my prints and paintings so they arrive safely, see my many reviews for confirmation of this.

See you soon again,
Mariann
