I’ve made a number of attempts on portraying bluebells in full bloom but this is my most successful yet. By incorporating a strong sense of back-lighting using single-point perspective, I was able to give the scene more drama. I changed my colour palette to incorporate a wide range of pinks, mauves, greys, blues and even orange to give the illusion of light falling across the flowers
 
The original for this is a monotype, a unique printed painting. I use rollers and dabbers to spread out the ink then make marks with a cloth and other tools. I incorporate textured materials by impressing inked up wallpaper and fabric.
 
This is a reproduction canvas print on a wood "stretcher".
Here are some answers to questions people ask about this type of print.
 
Can canvas prints be framed? Yes, you can purchase this canvas print with a floating frame (no glass) in either oak veneer (with a dark interior) or dark brown wood effect.
Is it limited edition? Yes – it will be part of the existing edition of 100
Will it be signed? Yes it will be signed and numbered on the back as there’s no discrete way to sign the front.
Are the colours a good match to the original? Yes, just like my paper prints, the colours have been carefully matched to the original.
Will it stand the test of time? Yes, the canvas and inks are archival quality with a protective varnish (not shiny). The canvas is Innova Exhibition Matte Canvas 380gsm with pigment inks.
Will I lose some of the picture round the sides? No, the printer samples the image to create borders that match seamlessly with the front face.
How do I clean it? You can dust it with a soft clean dry cloth or wipe gently with a damp cloth.
How do I hang it on the wall? D rings and string are attached just like for a regular picture. If it’s a large one you’ll need to put two picture hooks for stability.
