Copyright 1986: A three month 'dots' of ink only pen and ink drawing working by naked eye only, of course.
Measurements of original and print: 10.1 cm. x 9.4 cm. Price of Artist's signed, titled and numbered print each: £57.50p. inclusive surprisingly.
* A 'Limited Edition' of 250 copies only.
Description of composition: An evocative seventeenth century tomb with Coat of Arms in quiet, peaceful St. Mary's Church cemetery, Netherbury, West Dorset - an area in which the Artist's family lives.
St. Mary's Church, Netherbury  is where the Artist's family worships and contains several memorials to other previous owners of historic 'Hatchlands'. Is an old rusting lawn roller in the background illustrative, also, of 'ashes to ashes, dust to dust'?
The broken and worn stonework, as always, has an ageless quality which the 'dots' only style ideally illustrates. Ivy is the recent arrival.........the continuity of life in tranquil West Dorset.
