Stump #138 (Ash Dieback I), Monoprint, 30cm x 36cm

Gelliplate Monoprint on Daley Rowney Heavyweight Cartridge 220 gsm

Stump #138 is a Monoprint derived from a
Dead Ash Tree in Old Mill Creek, Dartmouth (Devon).

this is Part of the ongoing Tree Portraits Series, which now consists of over 200 unique Prints
sadly Ash Dieback has spread even faster during the Covid pandemic, as rangers/volunteers have been unable to do their normal tasks, and Tree stress was exacerbated by 2 long, hot dry spells from March onwards in 2020.
Monoprints are used throughout this series to emphasise the Individuality of Trees, & in this case a glowing, below-horizon sunset, reflecting on the Trunk, felt apt for this piece.
