Honeyeaters and Gum Flowers 5/6

New Holland Honeyeaters are perched in a wreath of callistemon and eucalyptus.

The sweet honeyeaters are a beautiful bird with distinctive markings and are found in native bushes foraging for nectar.

The linocut is filled with stylized flowering gums and filled with washes of watercolour which contrast with the printed areas.

Handprinted linocut handcoloured with watercolours on 300 gsm smooth cotton rag paper. Archival quality and for sale unframed.

This colourway is the fifth in a limited edition of 6, each with a different palette.
