Description:

Dive into the whimsical world of 'Wild Swimming,' a delightful black and white lino print that captures the playful spirit of otters in their natural habitat. This charming piece, created in a traditional style, brings to life a trio of otters sitting contently in the shallows of a flowing river.

A Family Outing

The heartwarming scene suggests a familial bond, with one otter slightly larger than the others, hinting at a parent-child relationship. It's a serene yet lively moment, as two of the otters gaze out over the river, seemingly lost in thought or perhaps plotting their next adventure. Meanwhile, the third otter adds a touch of mischief, casting a curious glance over its shoulder directly at you, the viewer, inviting you into their world.

Nature's Tranquility

The background features gentle river banks and small, rolling hills, providing a peaceful setting that complements the playful nature of the otters. Each detail is lovingly hand-printed on exquisite 45gsm Japanese mulberry paper, known for its delicate ivory tone that enhances the print's elegance.

A Statement Piece

Measuring a generous 40 x 40 cm, this large print is perfect for a mount with the same size aperture, making it an ideal centerpiece for any room. Whether you're an art enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply someone who appreciates the joyful antics of otters, 'Wild Swimming' is sure to bring a splash of charm and warmth to your wall.
