Gorse in Bloom Sea Seven Sisters South Downs Chalk and Flint Cliffs
Print description
In early spring the blossom of the gorse with its delicate coconut like scent creates a wonderful blanket of colour in the South Downs National Park. This is a view from the cliffs that looks towards Cuckmere, the iconic Coastguard Cottages, South Gap and Seaford Head. The main subject of this print is the gorse in bloom, that in this print is larger than the sea, the sky and the mesmerising chalk cliffs.
Print details
To create this print, I start by crafting individual drawings in ink, which collectively form a collage comprising the final piece. I scan my drawings and digitally add colour. The original design solely exists in digital format, and I print it using archival inks and paper. I then release my design as a limited edition print, available in standard ‘A’ sizes, ranging from A0 (84.1 cm x 118.9 cm) to A4 (21 x 29.7 cm).

Rudyard Kipling a poem
A Three-Part Song
I’m just in love with all these three,
The Weald and the Marsh and the Down countree.
Nor I don’t know which I love the most,
The Weald or the Marsh or the white Chalk coast!
I’ve buried my heart in a ferny hill,
Twix’ a liddle low shaw an’ a great high gill.
Oh hop-bine yaller an’ wood-smoke blue,
I reckon you’ll keep her middling true!
I’ve loosed my mind for to out and run
On a Marsh that was old when Kings begun.
Oh Romney Level and Brenzett reeds,
I reckon you know what my mind needs!
I’ve given my soul to the Southdown grass,
And sheep-bells tinkled where you pass.
Oh Firle an’ Ditchling an’ sails at sea,
I reckon you keep my soul for me!
