Etching on paper

Signed and numbered on the front.

My largest etching to date, this depicts a pine tree overlooking the water at the Myponga Reservoir walking trail in (you guessed it) Myponga, South of Adelaide. The first edition, which is not for sale, was made as a one-off gift and did not utilise much plate tone or aquatint. This second state, which comes in an edition of 8, is more brooding and atmospheric as I have experimented more with aquatinting the shadows and reflections on the water. I'd never attempted aquatinting before and this was a fun process to learn. Each of the 8 prints will vary slightly due to the hand-inking and hand-printing process.
