Artwork description:

I often base my Linocuts on things I see when out and about in my home county of Yorkshire. This particular print was inspired by some beehives that I saw in the garden of an arts and crafts house in York known as Goddards. The house is now owned by the National Trust who often house beehives in the gardens of their properties. I love to watch the bees busily working.

I make my Linocut Prints by hand in my studio in York using my etching press. I print on acid free, 220gsm Windsor and Newton paper using oil-based inks. I have finished the print by hand-colouring using a water based medium.
This print is one out of a limited edition of 50. Each print is numbered and signed. The prints vary slightly as they are hand made so they are all unique!
Please note the actual image size is 30 X 20 cm but the paper size is larger as there is a white border of approximately 5 cm around each side of the image to enable you to frame the image as you wish.
All prints are wrapped in cellophane and are shipped in a sturdy envelope stiffened with card.
