Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone! It's a chilly, rainy 1st of January here in Scotland. I think it's going to be a quiet day at home with lots of chocolate, tea and a little drawing. I'll share some artwork with you...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Giclee Prints

There is a definite feel of winter here in Fife now, the heating is on and all the cosy jumpers are out. I have a bit of a cold at the moment and feeling a little under the weather. I've not left the house today yet but my cosy little cat has been snuggled in keeping me company. He doesn't seem to be too fussy about this time of year and will pop a paw out the door and then right back in again.

I just wanted to stop by and show you some of the new prints I had professionally made of my birds. I'm pretty happy with them, they look really close to the originals. I went for high quality giclee prints using pigment based inks on archival fine art paper, this means they won't fade in sunlight.

I've spoken about getting prints made for ages and I'm glad I've finally taken the plunge. I think it will make a real difference to me, especially in terms of detail. My new work is still very true to my style but using prints means I can spent a bit longer working on each piece. I have listed the first couple for sale in my etsy shop.
