Isn’t the Barn Owl simply magnificent? There’s a winding road nearby that traverses the Downs. Sometimes, when Gary and I venture out for a night drive along that road, we’re fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of a Barney. It often perches on a favoured gatepost, diligently scanning the verges illuminated by our headlights in search of its evening meal.
Their unmistakable heart-shaped faces forge an immediate connection to the landscape. Residing here in Wiltshire, on the cusp of The Downs, offers us the continual privilege of witnessing these majestic birds in their natural habitat.
This artwork is the delightful outcome of an experiment involving Copper leaf as an under-layer of colour. Those striking deep lines you observe in the images? That’s the result of the individual sheets of copper being carefully ‘smooshed’ together. They’re thinner than a human hair and practically weightless, necessitating a closed environment to prevent them from being whisked away by a stray draught! Yet, the effect is undeniably exquisite, wouldn’t you concur? Copper imbues the finished piece with a unique, warm tone; deeper and richer than gold leaf.
Our Fine-Art Prints come on two kinds of archival paper. For everything up to – and including – our ‘Medium’ size, we use 210GSM Fotospeed Smooth Art; a paper that offers exceptional contrast and detail. Because our larger, more prestigious prints need to be more impactful, we use Fotospeed’s 315GSM NST. Thanks to the gentle texture and bright-white base of this 100% cotton, fine art paper, it consequently delivers a wide colour gamut. The Fine Art Trade Guild have also certified these two papers. In conjunction with our pigment-rich inks, we therefore deliver a lifetime’s worth of enjoyment!
