Artwork description:

Scratching around the barns, keeping an eye on what you are up to, very much minding your business!

This is a linocut reduction print, this means that I cut away as I layer the colors onto the paper. I start by cutting away the lightest color, run all the prints through the press in this color, then I cut away what I want to keep in the lightest color, and print on the next color, this is repeated until the print is done, which is why it is an original print, I, the artist have had a hand in rolling up and pulling through the press each and every print. I have used 6 colors here, so each print has been through the press 6 times, every time the print has to be lined up perfectly.

I have printed only 15 prints, and have a few left, this is no 2, and is what you receive. Each print is signed and numbered.
The print measures in lovely warm white best quality printmaking paper
23" x 15,5" (63 cm x 39 cm)
and the actual printed area measures 23" x 12.5" (58 cm x 32 cm )

I ship from my studio in Denmark with many years experience in packing my art so it arrives safely, see my many reviews.
Thanks for looking and welcome back.
