Sally's recent Quote about this original sketch/print she said on FB. Using a chilly, damp Monday to continue my plan chest cull. Sketchbook studies for plates occasionally bring back vivid memories of a place and a time in life. This one of a window in Monet's Garden was done for a series of plates made for Brittany Ferries.
What it brought back was the sheer joy of a job that saw me driving my through tree lined France to visit the garden of an Artist I had loved ever since I could wield a paintbrush. I can still smell the scent of a garden newly rained on. The artist has signed, inscribed and numbered (26/150) to the lower edge and the artwork has been presented in a contemporary wooden frame with layered card mount. Size : length 52cm x 47cm. Sally Winter is best known for her vibrant and evocative etchings and collagraphs.
A former member of the National Society of Printmakers and the Society of Botanical Artists, her work has been enthusiastically collected worldwide for over thirty years.
