Xerochrysum bracteathum, Kimba Peach.

Balancing on the salt whilst preening, this character is putting on a show. Obviously this impressive move has left the pepper horizontal. The gesture of being poised on one foot shows they are still not in complete control. This is one of the classic Budgie colours, striking in this formal setting, the spiky petals on the paper daises mirroring the points on the feathers.

Sold unframed, each image will be signed and dated as per convention. There are only 12 of these prints being made.

Lino block artworks go through a rigorous process when they are being printed and allow the artist to create multiple prints. When a print is ordered, it will look mostly like the image presented on the website, following the same colour scheme, but due to the process of hand painting, the blending of tones and colours will be some variation between the prints. There will be dents in the paper made by the Lino Block making an impression on the page, this is a part of the material practice leaving the paper slightly embossed. When purchasing unframed artworks, some printmaking marks may appear in the unprinted portion of the page, these should be covered when the work is mounted/framed.
