Hawthorn Blossom [Small Linocut Print]

Limited edition Lino cut print on cartridge paper.

Mount and frame not included.

In May, after their leaves have unfurled from tight buds, Hawthorn bushes come to life with masses of white blossom. This print was taken from a hand cut Lino plate.

My work is partly inspired by the coastal landscape of East Lothian, where I live. Hawthorn is particularly hardy and able to withstand the harsh winds that are common in this region. Working from sketches I produce designs for my Lino cuts that focus on repeat pattern.
