DISPLAY limited edition handmade print

Description: "Display" portrays a male Anna’s Hummingbird showing off for a female by flying in a loop at breakneck speed to get her attention and convince her that he is a worthy mate. At the bottom of the male’s courtship dive, wind passing through his outer tail feathers creates a loud squeak, adding an attention-grabbing sound element to his display.

Great Gift: This print is perfect for anyone who loves nature, hummingbirds, or colorful little guys who show up.

Printmaking Process: I hand-printed each print on white 100% cotton paper (archival and acid-free) with lightfast ink. For each of the five colors, I carved out more and more of the same linoleum block by hand and then printed that color. This method is called reduction printmaking because you reduce the block as you carve more away. That means you cannot go back and print a color again. Thus, this is a limited edition of 16 prints, which I have signed by hand.  Print sold alone (without mat or frame.)

Due to the handmade nature of printmaking, there may be slight variations between individual prints, making each one a unique piece of art. In this print, sometimes I allowed coverage of an ink color to be less opaque because I liked the texture it brought to the print.

Archival Mounting Option: This print can be bought on its own or mounted between a mat and foam board, ready to be inserted in a 11x14 in. or 12x16 in. frame. All mounting materials are acid-free and archival.
