| Landseers are a type of black and white Newfoundland. I thought it would humorous to make a Landseer have the same markings as the native Murre. The background shows Signal Hill and the Battery Point neighborhood in St. John's. It is my attempt at portraying the adorable "jelly bean" houses in the background. Newfoundlanders back in the day would buy one can of paint and paint their boat and their house with the same paint. Since it was better to have a brightly colored boat at sea, the houses just ended up vibrantly colored as well. color-reduction woodcut image size 19” x 23.75” edition size 8 $700 unframed «click here to buy this newfie woodcut » |
