Margaret and the Nut Walk

Lino number 7 is now complete and I have just done the first proof at Birmingham Printmakers.



It shows Margaret standing in the nut walk looking back towards the house. The hazelnut arch is one of the original features of the garden that was planted by Margaret. She was strongly influenced by the garden designer Gertrude Jekyll and her garden at Munstead Wood.

The hazelnut motif has also been used for the border design (although it is unusual to see any nuts on the Winterbourne nut walk due to the way it is pruned).



Margaret's pose and clothes have been inspired by two contemporary photographs.
