Artwork description:

A green linocut print of a dog pointing and a person wearing green shoes and matching tweed trousers.

A humorous artwork on the theme of going out into the fresh air.

‘Every week at work we had a bonus ball lottery and I won. With the winnings I bought a rescue dog from St. Francis Animal Welfare, Fair Oak called Bruce. When I retired from teaching I made this linocut print to celebrate moving on and as gifts for my colleagues. The artwork's colour and texture symbolise my mixed emotions about being on the threshold of leaving and Bruce is pointing the way out, it's simultaneously a happy and sad feeling.’

My drawing is transferred onto the linoleum with red carbon paper and I carve into the surface intuitively with sharp linocutting tools.

A short edition of 10 hand prints combining three colours; pink, green and slate grey using the traditional printing method rubbing a baren on the back of the smooth Snowdon 130gsm acid free paper to transfer the printing ink from the linoleum to the paper.

Each print is numbered, titled and signed in pencil, protected with glassine tissue paper and sealed in a cellophane pocket with hardboard support. Carefully and lovingly packed in a stiff cardboard box, insured, tracked and guaranteed next working day delivery within the UK and 2 to 3 working days for Europe, 3 - 5 days Globally, so that it arrives safely and in perfect condition.
