#originalart #reproductions #copies #prints An original" or "fine art" prints as defined by the Print Council of America as an image drawn or etched or engraved on some surface by the artist, who prints a limited number of the pieces by hand (or personally supervises someone else doing it), then signs and numbers the individual prints and defaces the printing plate or erases the image on the lithographic stone.  So original art is not a reproduction nor a copy.  For example it can be an etching, a lithograph or a screen print produced in a limited edition by the artist if possible or if not it has been supervised by the artist. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist. Often it has the printers stamp on the reverse or bottom corner.  How can you tell if it's an original and not a copy or reproduction? Get a magnifying glass and look carefully at the print. If it is an etching, it is pretty easy. First it will always have a plate mark around the

Just because it's a print of trees doesn't mean it has to be green, or brown, or grey.  Red works just as well, think of autumn colours.  This screen print is called "Le Bois".  It is inspired by a photograph taken in Japan.  Japan is an amazing country. The people are lovely and there are so many ancient shrines that it is a photographers paradise. In autumn the colours are amazing.  Paper dimensions: 50 x 35cm Image dimensions: 35 x 23 Price: €60 Postage and packing Europe: €15 Postage and packing rest of world: €25 The © watermark will not be on the purchased print.  The print is signed by the artist. www.bluemoonart.net

As you can see, the screenprint comes in different colour ways. I think its fun to experiment, try turning the screen around for example. Of course if you buy one of these prints it wont have the copyright watermark, that goes without saying.  Let me know what you think. Do you like it? If not why not? I'm always interested in feedback or questions.  This is one from the series  " The Woods ".  It was inspired by a photograph taken in Cornwall UK one winter's day.  Paper dimensions: Image dimensions: Price: €60 Postage and packing Europe: €15 Postage and packing rest of world: €25 The © watermark will not be on the purchased print. 

For the last year I've been screen printing. Now I have a selection of prints to show and sell online.  1. This is  " The Woods ". I have printed it in various ways and colours and on various papers.  It was inspired by a photograph taken in Cornwall UK one winter's day. The above image is printed two times on orange paper. First time pale blue and second time a dark blue. I love the effect of light coming through the trees and the orange glow in the center.  Paper dimensions:50x34cm Image dimensions: 45x30cm Price: €60 Postage and packing Europe: €15 Postage and packing rest of world: €25
