MORNINGTON VIEW

​

During lockdown in Melbourne, Australia we were only allowed to exercise 5 kim from our homes. Seems crazy now thinking about it two years later. But it was happening and we all just had to deal with it. Not that we had anything to complain about because this was our daily walk. We would park our car at the top of Main Street Mornington, grab a coffee an walk up the hill towards Mornington peir and walk down on the beach back to the car.  It took a pandemic to slow us all down and appreciate our local area. Mornington Peninsula is a beautiful place to live and we are truly blessed. The Red Bluff, (as I call it) is the centre of other linocuts I have done in the past. I love the bluff and all the tiny houses that sit on the cliffs along the beach front. The trees that line Mothers Beach must be hundreds of years old and are spectacular from the roadside or even out in the water looking back to the beach. Either way, this view inspires me and thats why this hand painted linocut is titled;

 "Mornington View".

I only work on the best linocut paper. It can withstand printing and hand painting. The boards underneath are were a flatten the work inbetween painting sessions and also to protect the work from Wolf the Studio Cat.

These are my swiss carving tools. They are the primo of carving tools and cost around $45 a tool. They make cutting the lino so much more enjoyable. A gift to myself during Covid Lockdown.

The Matrix or the plate is finally finished. The top half istencilled out for a clean negative space. The lino took months to complete and I am excited to do the first Artist Proof.

I took this photograph during Covid Lockdown. We are fortunante to have this within our 5 kim range. I am inspired by the place I am lucky enough to live.
