Limited edition print/Blackbirds and old bus in Hoy

A limited edition print from a mixed media painting by Orkney artist Jane Glue
printed on C-Type Matt paper in two editions of 100 prints.

This abandoned old 1950's bus sat in a field in Lyness, Hoy for many years but is now sadly lying in pieces behind an old wartime building nearby. When I visited on this particular day there was a flock of blackbirds nesting in the roof so I included them in my painting. I used a lot of different papers to create the collage and texture of the bus and surrounding grass along with acrylic paints. The metal structure of the grill on the front has a layer of silver paint and I have stuck red felt down to create the indicators above the grill.
