Creating “A View of the Coast”
Digital Print – Digital (Giclée) on Museum Grade Art Paper
A sweeping, epic view of a path along a typical coastline of high cliffs, stacks and arches.
This coastline art, in the style of my linocuts, is inspired by my travels on coastal paths around the UK. I've wended my way along the cliffs at the edges of Yorkshire, Wales and Devon, so far.
I've memories of breathing‑in epic vistas, and marvelling at the ruggedness of some of the UK's most beautiful coastal landscapes.
It's not surprising this type of coastline is a recurring theme in the linocuts, paintings, and now digital art, in my collection.
Every Summer, I'm drawn to the cliffs at Flamborough Head and the towering heights above Whitby harbour, for example.
Whenever I'm near the coast, I often find myself wandering along the edge of land and sea – there's something about doing that isn't there.
A striking landscape art
I ordered a print of this at 50.8 x 50.8cm (20 x 20ins) when I was testing the third-party supplier I now use. I was blown away by the quality, and how the gicée ink reproduced all the subtle mimicking of painting ink onto a lino block with a brush better than the photo above shows.
This is a bold artwork which will catch people's eye wherever you choose to hang it.
