A unique Limited Edition Fine Art Giclee Print - Hand Embellished with approximately 290,000 additional orange and red ink dots. Also hand embellished with a 24 carat gold leaf butterfly. This is print number 2 in an edition of 35.
 
Limited Edition Fine Art Giclee Print: a high quality image of the original artwork is printed onto an acid free, slightly textured 310gsm alpha/cotton mix paper using archival inks. The paper is a museum heritage heavyweight watercolor paper, 310gsm [the weight being grams per square metre]. Both the paper and inks used are archival, ensuring print quality. When looked after there should not be any fading/degradation on the prints for 70+ years.
 
The original drawing is made up entirely, 100%, of pen ink dots and took 147 hours to complete. Based on 4 dots per second this drawing is made up of approximately 2.1 million ink dots (possibly more, possibly less).​
 
This drawing references a photograph that I took of woodland around the Dorset village of Cerne Abbas. The photograph was taken during the daytime and turned into a negative to obtain the look, feel and atmosphere that I wanted to create.
