OK Heron at the Pineapple Canal
A trip on the Coal Canal, Bath, led to the meeting of three herons as we paddled by canoe along the waterway. More than once, we startled them from their perch - which inspired this print.
Initially a drawing, I worked to incorporate a simplified photo-background, to represent where we were on the Coal canal when we spied one of the herons. Hand drawn images have been exposed on to a silkscreen and hand-pulled at Spike Print Studio, Bristol.
This print became the inspiration behind a commission for Hotwells and Cliftonwood Community Association, who requested that I paint a 30 metre mural, parallel to the end of Hotwell Road/ start of the Portway (opposite the Customs House). This was the original!
Print Size: 45cm x 29cm
Paper Size: (approx) 50cm x 32cm
My online shop is now closed for the summer!
I will be dashing about with family and friends, running the odd workshop, and cannot guarantee postage windows. Please note, all orders placed between 23rd July and 1st September will be despatched at the start of September. Have a great summer all!
