Description
Mustard is an original hand printed drypoint etching, with yellow & red monoprinted colour. I was inspired by the iconic graphics on this old catering tin of Colemans mustard powder that I found on an online antique shop. My Grandad always had mustard in his lunchtime sandwiches which came from a little tin of mustard powder. My grandma then mixed it up in an egg cup with a drop of water & a tiny wee spoon. As a kid I would always try a bit on the end of my tongue & then do an Oscar winning performance of how hot & horrid it was! Because the tin is so large I put in it some of the big headed Hydrangea from our garden. At the time they were such a gorgeous bluey green, tipped with magenta pink & powder blue, just getting ready to turn into their Autumn glory. I love the nostalgia & memories this image conjures up of the kitchens & gardens of my childhood. Printed using an etching press on Fabriano paper, this print measures 30cm2, & will arrive at your door in sturdy packaging. Thank you for looking & taking an interest in my work.
