On the Edge was inspired by a view in Yorkshire where I saw a tree clinging on for dear life. There's something about these lone trees in extreme conditions that seems to relate to our tenacity in the face of turbulant times.
 
I used rollers and dabbers to spread out the ink then made marks with a cloth and other tools. I built up layers of over-lapping colous by printing serveral times. I incorporated textures by impressing inked up wallpaper and fabric. I also used paper stencils to make the crisp edges. You can watch a video of the original artwork being made.
 
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.
