ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Carnforth, Lancashire, UK
2008
Pen and ink and watercolour
27 x 20.5cm
In 2007, this little Australian set off across the waters - returning to the Mother Country, England, to study theology at Capernwray Hall in Carnforth, Lancashire. I can't really imagine a more picturesque and calming place to study. The gothic-revival hall (or castle as we called it) and the well kept grounds and surrounding farmland and gentle, rolling hills were a true slice of heaven - further enhanced by the people I met there. When I returned to Melbourne at the end of my studies I captured this scene based on a photo I had taken on a rather serene evening in spring. The lamppost gives a real 'Narnian' air to the resulting watercolour and pen and ink artwork and I can't help but feel more cheerful whenever I look at it.
This image will print best on Hahnemühle German Etching paper.

Most of my original artworks are available in archival quality print form and are printed using the giclée process by ACME et al in Steels Creek, Victoria. Each stage of the printing process is carefully overseen by James, the printer (with nearly three decades of industry experience), to ensure the highest quality product. These prints are made to last for decades with minimal fading and are printed on high-end, sturdy papers.
Because the prints are made on demand and printed individually rather being mass-produced, please allow between two to three weeks for processing and delivery of your order (or a little longer for customers outside of Australia).
Please note that framing is not included with print purchases.
