Broughton Castle: The Crowded Skies Linocut 550mm x 400mm Robin Wilson (2011) |
The Broughton linocut I've reported on earlier has turned out exactly as I was intending. This captures the end of a hot day with the Canada geese in the air, taking off and landing on the moat, which is mostly glassy smooth except for a ripple of wind disturbing the surface on the side nearest the house. My initial sketch was a broader panorama, which I've compressed slightly in order to accommodate the spire of St. Mary the Virgin, which is reality sits slightly further from the gatehouse.
