Artwork description:

Only one remaining - ever!

This oak stands on a very windy ridge in the Black Mountains of Wales. The "squat" shape appealed to me visually and is probably the result of wind damage in this exposed location. April 2011.

I have developed a style of presentation that makes the image literally "stand out".  I bond the print onto a rigid black foamboard to make what I call a "Fine Art Paper Tile" and then mount this onto a stretched canvas frame.  For small works I use a single "tile" for the whole image, whereas for larger works I split the image into several "tiles".  I was inspired to use this tiling technique by none other than David Hockney who paints his large scale landscapes on multiple canvasses.

Materials used:

Textured art-paper, exhibition board, stretched canvas, paint
