Red Kite Over Oxfordshire Linocut And Monoprint

The red kites nest in a field near my house in Oxfordshire and even though I I see them flying every day, when I find one sitting in the garden it still blows my mind,because they are so big and majestic. I like to imagine what it is like to see the world as this magnificent bird of prey does.

This print is an original Lino cut that I hand carved. The background is a monotype print of fields and houses, and each one is unique, just for you, so it might look a little differentfrom the pictures.

This hand pulled screenprint makes a lovely gift for any birdwatching friends, especially us that rejoice at the red kites successful reintroduction to this country, or someone who loves Oxford and the Oxfordshire countryside.

Made from:

I used oil based inks in shades of tawny brown, and black for the bird with faded greens and browns for the distant landscape for a dramatic artprint on cartridge paper. The monoprinted background means each print is unique. All materials are archival to last as an heirloom into the future.

My screenprints are hand printed and hand registered by eye and unlike computer generated images are subject to slight variations that make each a unique piece of art.
