"Friends of Joy"
From the Artist:
"I’m thrilled to share my latest labour of love with you! This project has been both challenging and rewarding. What began as a simple composition check for a larger, more complex work evolved into something deeply personal. I found a real synergy between the story we see and myself. The two birds in the foreground might symbolise the past and present, while the two eggs near the horse’s hooves represent vulnerability and the fragility of life. The horse itself embodies life—strong, powerful, yet subtle. It’s a joyful piece that invites us all to connect with our emotions.
The painting is titled "Friends of Joy" is inspired by the traditional nursery rhyme "One for Sorrow," A rhyme about magpies. In this rhyme, two magpies symbolise Joy, and together with all the animals depicted, the title reflects a joyful sense of camaraderie."

This artwork is printed with a fine art printer on archival, matte, and velvet fine art paper. I chose a softer watercolour texture to enhance the deep tones, resembling a cold-pressed watercolour sheet with its lovely velvet finish.
Each piece has a unique identifying number and is hand-signed on the front. It’s a limited edition, so it won't be reproduced once it’s sold out.
I now offer unmounted prints, but if you add mounting, your piece will arrive with a backboard and cellophane cover, making it perfect for gifting or framing immediately.
✨ About the limited edition prints:
Each unmounted print comes with a backboard and a protective cover. Every print features a handwritten identifying number reflecting its place in the limited release, along with the artist's signature.
Printed on premium, thicker archival matte velvet fine art paper, the quality difference between a standard print and a fine art print is striking. This limited edition run provides a gallery-quality experience. Feel free to check my shop feedback for more information on the quality of the prints.
✨ How are fine art prints created:
All prints are printed using a fine art printer, on fine art paper. The inks used to create this work are special art printing inks, not your standard printer ink, my prints have enhanced print longevity, they will last approximately 200 years in a photo album, 80 years on display behind normal glass in sunlight before they start to fade!
(Please look at the texture and detail on the images, it's such a beautiful fine art paper.)
A2 prints will have a longer lead time as they require printing from a fine art lab in London UK. ( Around 1 to 2 weeks)
Print size A4 with mounting fits into 12" x 16" frame. A4 image size is the UK standard printer paper size 21.0 x 29.7cm,
Print size A3 with mounting fits into a 20" x 16" frame. A3 image size is double A4- 29.7 x 42.0cm
Print size A2 arrives unmounted fits into a A2 frame. A2 image size: 16.5 x 23.4”
(When looking for a frame please search for the size above with no mounting, for example ‘’12" x 16" frame no mounting’’ it is very easy to frame just simply remove the protective cover and pop straight into the frame. Please feel free to message me should you need help when you have your artwork)
