And Then the Christmas Card Idea Evolved

With the drawing of my poinsettia Christmas card shaping up, I decided to take the idea further by adapting it to be a lino cut. Obviously, I'm not yet expert in the art of lino cuts, but why should that put a dampener on just having a go!?

Also, the cards are turning out well as two colour screen prints and I ordered some wrapping paper with a repeating design too!

    It’s good to look back at your work for the day and to smile! These pastel works are inspired by walks through the grounds of Holkham Hall in Norfolk.
