  • Today marks the Winter Solstice for us here in the Northern Hemisphere, I went for a walk over Two Tree Island nature reserve in my home of Leigh-on-Sea, Essex in the UK to make the most of the light on our shortest day. I then came back to my studio and printed some of my limited edition 'Winter Walk' linocut print. Full of winter treasures, a meditation on noticing the beauty and small details at this time of year.
    Featured Print - ‘Winter Walk’ linocut print, a limited edition of 50.

    I hope you now enjoy the slow return of more light, and longer days.
    Warm wintry wishes from me x

    I agree with the others, this is Beautiful. Before you spoke i had a feeling this was England. I love England and hope to visit someday but my time is growing short. But i always hope.
    Thanks for this video.

      I love the Autumn and the Winter, I feel closer to nature at this time of year. It’s not about everything dying, it’s just resting until it all comes back in the Spring. Without the Winter we wouldn’t have the Spring. Just love your Video I will be looking forward to the next one ✨🌙✨
