I went to the Municipal Art Gallery in Brighton and got inspired by a painting by William Scott called "Girl and the Birdcage" from February 1948. The painting had soft pastel colours and a calm feeling typical of that period. I liked my drawing and turned it into a digital Lino-cut print. It will be printed on Hahnemühle German Etching paper in a limited edition of 25 copies each for the 300mm x 300mm and 500mm x 500mm sizes.

I’ll be team seafoam, easiest choice of all time even if my idealised version of seafoam does not match up to the reality of the gross beige clumpy froth I see on estuaries sometimes
John Austen (1886-1948), 'Cythera', 1930
"A nude woman lies horizontally across the image on a bed of flowers and other plants, her long, red hair spread out behind her. A blue sea flows either side of her, and five white birds form a semi-circle around her."

I think I'll get around to cutting this and preparing the coloured layers next weekend
also a little bonus: I already cut a smaller version of this a couple of days ago but it ended up being too small and didn't look right (therefore the second version which is a bit more than double the size)
