As with the drawing "Hidden Treasures", "Truffle Quest" looks at the contrast between the picturesque scene where the two lagotto investigate the source of the truffle aroma that permeates from beneath the ground, and the hidden darkness below them. In this subterranean world you can see a suggestion of the intricate symbiosis of the subterranean organisms that are such vital components of natural world. 

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.
