"Hidden Treasures" depicts two lagotti on the scent of truffle in a beautiful sunlit woodland. When I truffle forage with my dogs, in my head I picture the truffle treasures hidden within the intricate root and mycorrhizal systems in the darkness of the ground beneath me. I am conscious of the enormity of the impact that mankind has on the natural world, perhaps this image will prompt the viewer to be a little more conscious of unseen organisms around us. 

Having concentrated on the mediums of oil and charcoal for decades, I have recently discovered the joy of working with soft pastel. When applied to an appropriate good quality pastel board, the glorious colours and texture of the medium enable me to describe the curly, wool coat of lagotto Romagnolo. This limited edition giclee print is a reproduction from one of my recently completed series of original pastel drawings. The quality of these prints is so exceptional that it is difficult to distinguish between the originals and the reproductions.

 Each print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity that confirms that the print has been produced by a Fine Art Trade Guild approved Printmaker and states the unique edition number of the individual prints.

I chose a beautiful quality, German Etching 310gsm printing paper that has a slight texture to it and I am thrilled with the end results. 

The image size is 56.4 x 38 cm and the paper size is 42 x 59.4 cm. 

Each print comes in a cellophane sleeve and a backing board and, if shipped, will be protected within a durable, ridged cardboard box. 

The prints are unframed.
