This print is a linoprint titled "Promise of Spring" by the British printmaker and artist Rachel Knowles. The artwork features a close-up, stylized depiction of snowdrops in bloom, pushing through what appears to be a layer of melting snow or frost at the bottom.

Rachel Knowles is a printmaker based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Her work begins with observation: seed heads in winter, the first snowdrops pushing through cold soil, flowers moving gently in the breeze. Rachel is drawn to the calm order of plants and the reassurance they bring, even in winter.

I see what you mean. However, he is a celebrated photographer so I assume it is original work..

You’re welcome!

The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

Artist, Alex Coville

The artwork features a red fox captured mid-stride, leaping or running along a shoreline. Dark clouds are visible above the water. The word March can be seen below the painting.

The work “March” is part of “A Book of Hours, Labours of the Month" series, by Canadian painter and printmaker Alex Colville (1920-2013).
For this project, Colville used a geometric system to define the shapes of the twelve works in the series, which creates a sense of unity within the collection.

‘Opening Out.’ #Painting by Victoria Crowe (b. 1945) #art

Three score blackbirds alight a winter tree,
soundless on the leafless limbs in quiet company.

In lines of silent, sable flames, they ignite to spy
me with curiosity and six score eyes.

This painting, is titled "Blue Snow and Fiery Trees" (2011). The artwork presents a striking atmospheric landscape dominated by a high-contrast color palette: A thick layer of snow is rendered in deep, shades of indigo and ultramarine blue. A stand of leafless trees rises from the snow. Their trunks and intricate branches are depicted in orange and fiery red, making them appear as if they are catching the final rays of a setting sun.

Victoria Crowe (1945) is a leading Scottish painter. Her oeuvre encompasses a wide range of subjects including landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. Her work is often described as a bridge between observation and symbolism, using layers of imagery to explore themes as time and the inner landscape.

This painting, titled "The Moon Journey," is a characteristic work by the British artist John Caple At the center of the image is a dark, robust boat with two large white sails. Within the boat sits a solitary, dark silhouette of a person. The scene is illuminated by a large full moon in the upper left. The use of color is subdued, with many earth tones, blacks, and grays. The boat is situated among dark rock formations in a calm sea. A small, white bird is visible in the upper right.

John Caple is known for his dreamy, naive style that often explores elements of the British landscape and folklore. His work has a tranquil, timeless atmosphere, which is also evident in this particular painting through the use of muted colors and the depiction of a solitary journey under the moon.
