'St George's Day Blessing' is back from the printers and I'm pretty chuffed with the result! This is the third artwork I've done celebrating the historic nations that make up the British Isles. The following description is the text on the website and Etsy store that appears on the reverse of the Greeting Cards. 'England, country of moors and fells, rivers and dales, meadow and woodland It is a land of many contrasts, both geographically and culturally. It also has a long history of the defence of civil liberty and freedom, from the Molmutine Laws (c.450 BC) and Magna Carta (1215) to the Bill of Rights (1688). As a result England has been seen as a haven for exiles from the Huguenots (1600s) to Afghans (2000s). It is also a nation of innovation and creativity. As an artist I wanted to celebrate this and so created this artwork, using a knotwork border found in the great Lindisfarne Gospel (700AD) and headed by the flag of St George, patron saint of England. I hope you like it.'
