'Curious Seals' is a signed, open edition, 3 colour linocut print on Fabriano paper by Joanna Martin.

Unframed, this artwork comes in an off white mount and framed comes in black or white, wooden frame.

"A lively, summer coastal scene from my linocut print.  It’s a sunny day, there’s a breeze and a wooden yacht sails through islands past a colony of seals, a flock of Shelduck fly overhead.  This is reminiscent of many sailing adventures on Strangford Lough where we sail.  Seals would often watch us, they are particularly curious if our black Labrador is with us on the boat."

"In my making process I carve a design out of linoleum or Japanese vinyl, roll it up with ink and handprint it. I put a lot of time and thought into mixing my inks when printmaking. I apply the first colour to the lino, handprint it then cut away more of the image, mix up the second colour, apply, print and so on, building up layer upon layer. The result is a rich depth of colour."

Frame Details: We use sustainable wooden frames and glass, not fibreboard and acrylic which typically you find in 'off the shelf' frames. Unlike acrylic, glass does not lose its clarity over time and can be easily and safely cleaned. We have been successfully shipping ready to hang frames containing glass since we opened in 2005. 

There are two finishes to choose from: black or white. For frame details click the ‘View Frame Details’ link above.

Packaging Details: We go to great lengths to ensure that your purchase arrives in perfect condition. We only use sturdy cardboard postal tubes and double walled cardboard boxes. We use as much recycled and recyclable material as possible, including newspapers from our coffee shop, Coffee Yard, to pack our boxes.
