Old or young, it's never too late for adventure... Inspired by Edward Lear's poem 'The Owl and the Pussy-Cat'. This etching began as a rough sketch which was then redrawn onto a grounded zinc plate using an etching needle. The tones have been created by adding an aquatint and the plate is inked and printed by hand for each print in the edition. Materials: etching inks, Somerset Satin paper 300gsm

Rebecca Denton, painter and printmaker, has original artworks for sale with Wychwood Art in their art gallery and online. With over two decades of creating, Rebecca Denton works from her sketches and imagination to create original prints in her North London studio. Her aquatints are often whimsical, featuring imagined characters in imaginary landscapes and her narrative etchings are playful, sometimes with a serious context but always hopeful and life-affirming. I love it when people connect with the work; perhaps it triggers a childhood memory or allows them to dream of a better world or just dream... Rebecca also creates unique one-off prints; moments of beauty where the soul of the place can be felt.
