With this image, I really wanted to perfect the interaction of colours to give a glowing sense of light. The corresponding land area needed to both contrast with the sky and follow through with some darker linked colours. It isn't a particular view as such but an imaginative exploration of light, colour and texture on a large scale. I called it United We Stand as the trees seems like a little group of people clustering together on the hillside. It's also a little pun on the word "stand" which can be used to describe a group of trees.
 
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.
 
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.
