Artwork description:

A linocut print of a dog and a person wearing hot pink shoes and tweed trousers.

A humorous artwork about going out into the fragrant air, entitled 'Cut Loose'.

‘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.’
