The design for this Acrylic painting started out in my sketchbook as a design for a lino cut to make into greetings cards. It reminded me of a painting by Edward Middleditch that I had seen at an exhibition at Norwich Castle Museum many years ago. I just had to have a go at a painting.

Unlike Middleditch, I kept my painting as stark black and white with no grey shading as I liked the contrast. I used some digital prints of my painting for making some greetings cards.

I prefer the cropped square version of the card and I think I will use this shape when I design the lino cut. Which do you prefer?
