Original version
There’s nothing quite like owning a piece of original art. You can clearly see the ink and brushstrokes and feel the layers of collaged papers and paint all the lumps and bumps that make it real. You can connect directly with the energy that went into making it...
Artist’s quality paints and materials are always used and paintings are given a final coat of transparent UV varnish on completion. This keeps the colours bright and lively. Each original is signed either on the front or the back and comes with a signed and dated certificate of authenticity.

Stretched Canvas Print version
A ready to hang, professionally printed and stretched giclée canvas print. All artwork has been specially designed to continue around the edge of the canvas (gallery/museum wrap) except where it didn’t suit the image – in which case the sides of the canvas are white.

A top quality, rolled canvas print – perfect for stretching or framing yourself. All prints have been specially designed to fit standard size wooden stretcher bars. We allow for full gallery wrap on 38mm stretcher bars: the image continues around the sides for a seamless look, rather than being mirrored which is the usual practice. You can frame it behind glass in a standard size frame or have it professionally stretched onto wooden stretcher bars to create a ready-to-hang canvas. Or, if you fancy a bit of DIY, you can stretch your own! Here’s a suggested frame suppliers in the UK - canvasandstretcherbars.co.uk

SKU ART-ORIG_0095_CUT-OUT-BOA Category Tag Styles: ,

This cheerful little piece of original art, was based on the image of a tiny Greek fishing boat I saw bobbing about in the harbour, on a rather breezy but sunny January morning.

It’s entitled ‘Cut-out Boat’ as it was created with a combination of monoprinting and cut-paper collage.

The monoprint background is a lovely watery blue-green, with lively marks and textures barely visible as a result of the print process. I worked over areas of the monoprint with translucent blue-green fluid acrylic paint to enrich the colours and create more depth.

Whilst monoprinting the background, I worked on a collection of hand-decorated papers in a variety of colours and some of these have been used to create the boat and it’s colourful cargo.

A little hand-stamping and judiciously applied painted detail completed the process – along with the addition of the seagull and the jaunty red mooring buoy.

The collage was created on watercolour paper with lashings of archival matte medium and given a final coat of clear UV varnish.

The painting is for sale unframed and unmounted for you to frame as you wish – I think it would look great with a generously wide white mount, in a simple frame.

Cut Out Boat measures 21 x 21cm (8.25 x 8.25″)
