Bird Song 8 x 10 Print - Matte Paper - Sale

Description

*** Several months ago, I changed my print paper from a lovely, sturdy matte, to an even heavier, glossy paper. The color of the matte paper is vibrant and bold, and looks like my glossy prints, with the exception of the surface texture. I only switched to gloss because I tend to like shiny prints (though inside a frame, behind glass, there really isn't much of a difference).

I held on to the last of my matte paper prints, but recently decided to list them at half price, in order to clear my inventory. These matte prints are limited and once they are sold, they will not be offered again. Enjoy the lovely half-price while you can!

A sweet little bird perches upon a branch and gets ready to sing a melancholy love song. And what a lovely place to sing. This bird, drawn in ink on bristol board, is collaged to a background featuring vintage text from a 1904 copy of Shakespeare's Cymbeline. The sweet colored pencil roses add to the romantic vintage feel.

This print is an illustrated mixed media collage. All elements of this collage are hand drawn by me (with the exception of the vintage text) and collaged together. The materials are colored pencil, ink and drawing pencil on Strathmore drawing paper and bristol board.

This print will come to you tucked inside a cello sleeve for protection. It has been signed on the back by me, the artist.
