Artwork description:

A linocut print of a dog and a person wearing orange shoes and tweed trousers, selected for the Atelier beside the Sea, Brighton Open 2023 and SFGA Mall Galleries 2024.

A humorous artwork about going out into the warm air.

‘Every week at work we had a bonus ball lottery and I won. With the winnings I bought a rescue dog from St. Francis Animal Welfare, Fair Oak called Bruce. When I retired from teaching I made this linocut print to celebrate moving on and as gifts for my colleagues. The artwork's colour and texture symbolise my mixed emotions about being on the threshold of leaving and Bruce is pointing the way out, it's simultaneously a happy and sad feeling.’
