Such works may occasionally be unavailable at the time of purchase or enquiry.'This Mezzotint is the result of sketching out of bus or train windows on the exposed area between Scotland and England where the River Esk flows into the Solway Firth...."This Mezzotint is the result of sketching out of bus or train windows on the exposed area between Scotland and England where the River Esk flows into the Solway Firth. Each time I cross I have to sketch quickly, better by bus but the subject is closer by train. Information is recorded and colours, effects noted. In this case from 2022, watercolour added. Gretna is on the walking agenda. The composition was extended beyond the confines of the sketchbook and the print made with shop mix Black and Prussian Blue on Hahnemühle Paper."
