The drawing style of The Two Ponies, Vignette was influenced by techniques used in a time before mass produced printing, when artists carved images on wood, rolled ink on top and pressed the image onto paper. They became astonishingly skilled at depicting the world using cross-hatched lines to convey light, shade, form and texture. Later printmakers used this technique to create line drawings of incredible detail etched into metal plates. Many artists keep this time-honoured and highly-skilled tradition alive and I have studied both the early and more modern practitioners to develop my own style.

I have moved to a semi-rural area on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where deer graze in my front yard and The Two Ponies, Vingnette gives a sense of the serene beauty that surrounds us. I am producing prints such as The Two Ponies, Vignette using durable outdoor printing inks on wood as they can be framed without glass or matting. So they create unique but affordable artworks that are easy and inexpensive to ship. Each one is unique and I really like the somewhat folksy but sophisticated results. For more on the inspiration behind this and other prints in the series, please visit my January 2024 blog.

The Two Ponies, Vignette is shipped with an artist-made, sturdy, stained wood frame and is ready to hang. These prints do not require matting and glass so are economical to ship.
