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 59 hours to complete. Based on 4 dots per second this drawing is made up of approximately 850,000 ink dots (possibly more, possibly less).​
 
This drawing is taken from a photograph that I took of farmland around the area of Ifield Village in West Sussex. This is an area that I am familiar with from my childhood days and brings back many memories.  Fishing in the nearby River Mole, skylarking and taking our Golden Retriever for long countryside walks.
Inspiration also coming from the song by Sting, Fields of Gold.  I feel that the drawing captures the emotional essence of the song, particularly the version sung by Eva Cassidy.
