‘Into The Blue’ is a large format work created with 2 lino blocks printed end to end. It is inspired by the alpine environment at the summit of kunanyi / Mt Wellington where I l live and work. I use portrait orientation often when creating landscapes, as I feel like they can draw you in to the space. Beginning at the bottom with the ground you’re standing on and working up towards the skyline in the distance, ‘Into the Blue’ focuses on the blue shadows of reflected cool light from the sky in the late afternoon. I love creating richly coloured details in the deep shadows and contrasting them with the bright highlights that are catching the last rays of the sun.
This linocut is printed with oil based ink on oversized Stonehenge paper to allow for the extra height. I have printed only a small edition of 10 prints. Each is hand painted individually with watercolour. The image size (excluding signature and title) is approximately 29cm w x 78cm h with paper size approximately 35cm w x 88cm h..
Medium: Hand Painted Linocut
Edition Size: 10
Image Size: 30cm x 80cm
