This unframed, original print is one of an edition of 135, each one printed by me, by hand, using lightfast Cranfield printmaking inks. It’s on almost a full sheet of 250gsm Somerset Satin paper, made at St Cuthbert’s Mill, Wells.

Approximate dimensions: Image, 60cm x 40cm; On paper 70cm x 51cm.

I pass this beautifully spreading, mature oak tree often. It’s unusually wide and has reached the point in its life where its bottom limbs are almost touching the ground. I love its shape. It’s clearly hundreds of years old.

I called the print I’ve Lived a Thousand Storms because I see the tree as a survivor. In winter storms howl up or down the valley, but none have felled it yet.

    Absolutely stunning.
    Was meant to be gifting this beautiful linocut tree but don’t think I can part with it!

    This is a stunning piece of art, very detailed lino print of the first order and highest quality. I bought a print for a Christmas gift, but have to keep getting it out to have a sneaky look at it. Just beautiful.

      That’s so kind of you Sara. Thank you!
