Two original lino relief prints are currently at Gallery 12A South Parade, Doncaster, Yorkshire, UK, until Friday 20 November 2009 as part of an open print exhibition. The two prints are 'Drift' and 'Riddle of Reason' (Both illustrated below).

Lynne is about to begin another series of prints having allowed herself some time to reflect upon a theme. She intends to publish her progress here, with illustrations from her sketchbook as the new collection develops. Subscribe to the blog to follow developments.

Have you discovered RSS yet? Be brave, it's really very good. If you're using Firefox, the 'addon' called 'Feed Sidebar' is very handy as it puts all the updates for blogs (feeds) you're following in a neat sidebar with a button in Firefox's top navigation for casual access. Of course if you've a Google account you'll probably know about the follow feature already or the feed 'reader' that's part of your Google account.

Sales of Lynne's prints continue steadily with a cheque for the previous month's sales arriving as usual this morning. A big thank you from Lynne to all buyers of her prints.

This original print adds a new aesthetic to Lynne's collection of relief prints. It explores not only an additional technique, lino etching, but it also develops the more conceptual aspects of Lynne's work. More about this print on Lynne's web site.

Bedtime interior

A stylish interior benefits from an original print.

Notice the spotlight is not trained directly on the print as any strong light will damage works of art over long periods. This applies to all original art – paintings on canvas as well as delicate works on paper. More of this print on Lynne's web site.

Contemporary-classical original print

Almost finished... though photography helped decide this.
Picture: Detail of "The Riddle of Reason" (In-progress print)
Another original print edition exploring a new theme - classical gardens. As with any new subject, there is a great deal to resolve. One important question being the 'When is it finished?' question. This is when a camera can contribute by acting as another eye. The answer in this case was "No, not quite".

Whitby linoprint

The riches of Whitby Abbey: turbulent history and tall tales.
