“Ar Lan y Môr”
Beside the sea
 
The name inspired by the traditional Welsh folk love song which I discovered hearing Cerys Matthews' beautiful version.
 
This work is another love letter to the starlings who visit Aberystwyth every year. The Inn on the pier has massive windows which go right to the floor, providing a VIP front row seat for the murmurations. If you head there just before sunset during the winter months you can watch them flying right towards you and under your feet! And another bonus is you can still be warm and enjoy a pint at the same time.
 
This is a high quality Giclée print of my original mixed media collage, available in A4 and A3 with a white border around the edge of the artwork.
 
Printed for me by ThePrintSpace using 11 ultra wide gamut inks on 310gsm Hahnemüle German Etching. This heavyweight paper has a slightly warm base tone and a strong mottled texture. It creates a print with strong colours and deep blacks that feel rich and high in contrast. This is due to the texture of the paper enabling it to hold more ink and capture the light. The German Etching is one of our heavier weight Giclée art printing papers. With its weight and strong texture this paper gives an artwork a handmade crafted feel. Hahnemüle German Etching is a robust Giclée paper, meaning it doesn’t tend to fray as much at the edges. Archival life, 80 years.
