Artwork description:

A jester and a parrot attempt to teach an old dog new tricks, testing the old adage that it is often difficult to persuade people to try new ways of doing things. In the greater scene, a whole heap of other characters also attempt new tricks with varying degrees of success. So, can it be done? I suppose the answer to this depends on the dog.

This etching and aquatint is drawn on a copper plate. It is printed on Somerset Velvet, an off-white heavyweight 300 gsm handmade paper. The print is signed and numbered by the artist.

Materials used:

heavyweight hand-made 300 gram paper
