Artwork Description

Most of the maps I've found these past 10 or so years have been of more populated areas, but the colours of this one, and its uniqueness, appealed to me. Love the place names. Love to go there. Obviously whoever had this map in the 1970s went, because there's signs of use but I like that. It's part of the story. Edges turned with the map where possible, otherwise painted white. Ready to hang.

Artist Statement
After painting as a full time artist for the past 15 years, I've decided to just leave some previous works available here as prints only. No originals. It is unfortunately no longer financially viable to try and sell original work on this site when my returns after two recent increases in commission from BT, increases in shipping, material costs etc mean my actual proceeds from a sale are quite small. Thanks to my collectors and followers these past years. I wish you all the very best.
