Whirlybird – blackbird and nasturtiums limited edition screen print by Anita Saunders

Description

This bold blackbird design delivers instant brightness to the home and represents Summer, in what will be a series of four hand drawn and printed screen prints representing the seasons.

The image is inspired by a blackbird who visits our garden on a daily basis. The title owes its name to a variety of beautifully bright and vivid nasturtiums, which also suits our little visitor’s character as he dashes around the garden. This original screen print was produced using the drawing fluid method – creating a stencil for each individual colour by drawing directly on to the silk screen.  In total, twenty-three hand drawn screens were required to build up the finished image.

This lovely bright, original artwork is printed on heavy weight, acid-free paper using acrylic printing inks. The image dimensions are 22 x 29 cms, paper size 29 x 42 cm. It is supplied unmounted and unframed, rolled in acid-free tissue paper for ease of postage; ready for you to frame to suit your home décor.

Other limited edition screen prints in this series include Little Munchkin (autumn) and Christmas Rose (winter)
