I am selling this large, rare and sparklingly luminous etching revealing the artist’s fascination with the effects of strong light and his romantic leaning towards natural scenery, for [deleted] including postage and handling to anywhere in the world (but not, of course, any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries).

If you are interested in purchasing this amazing etching that my eyes see as a rich tapestry of “woven” lines, please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
