Oystercatchers at Porth Hellick, Isles of Scilly.

Linocut hand coloured with watercolour   12 x 23 cm   (27 x 37 cm in mount)
£60 mounted 1/20

I really like prints, but I don't do many of them. I keep telling myself to do more. I like the textures, the unpredictability, and the fact that the result doesn't look like my usual work! This is a (rather old) linocut of oystercatchers facing the wind on rocks at Porth Hellick on the Scillies. Oystercatchers are, of course, the perfect linocut bird.
