Lino Prints and Oil Paint

The lino prints became more successful once I had worked into them with paint. There isn't necessarily more texture, but the scenes are more dynamic than they were before. Also, you could argue the backgrounds are based on the texture of wood, so the idea of texture is still there. I worked from my original photographs of the Suffolk landscape (without referring back to them that closely again), and allowing the lines from the prints to abstract the shapes I painted.
