Description

River Reeds, is a hand printed reduction linocut in oil inks, on Fabriano Artistico paper.

On the seaward side of  southern Bruny Island, Captain Cook Creek runs out onto the beach of Adventure Bay forming a beautiful spot for swimming, walking, and kayaking. While walking along the edge of the creek close to where it opens out to the sea, I was struck by the rippled reflection of the opposite bank in the smooth, clear water. Details of the trees, bushy understory and reeds were clear, and contrasted strongly with the bright sky beyond.
