Gathering to Go – a swallows on wires print

This is a beautiful signed print of a pencil drawing of swallows gathering on telephone wires.  At the end of August, our feathered summer friends the swallows gather to begin their big journey back to winter climes.  It’s a beautiful sight.  And sometimes the swallows on wires is a slightly bittersweet sight as it marks the end of summer and the coming of the dark part of the year.

The Gathering to Go print would make a lovely addition to your home.  It would also make a great present for a nature lover.

You have three size options:

1. A little postcard sized mounted print which will fit an 8″ x 10″ frame.  The mount is ice white in colour and would look lovely in a plain black or dark wood frame.  This size of print is ready to gift, to frame, and to display.  It comes in a cellophane envelope to keep it clean and safe.
2. An A5 sized print with no mount.  That’s roughly 5.8 x 8.3 inches in size (or 148mm x 210mm).  Perfect if you want to choose your own mount and frame.
3. A larger A4 sized print with no mount.  That’s around 8.3 x 11.7 inches (or 210 x 290mm).

It will be packaged carefully in a protective envelope to keep it flat for transit.

You’ll find another swallow print in our shop, with just a single bird against a white background.

about our prints

The print is digitally printed on lovely 210gsm archival paper.  We use special pigment inks to ensure there is no fading over time.

The art prints are all drawn, scanned, printed & hand assembled in my studio in the Scottish Borders.  The original drawings are inspired by the little corner of the world I’m lucky enough to inhabit. I draw in pencil, biro and watercolour, filling my sketchbook with drawings and notes, and working on bigger pencil drawings back in the studio. My work is all about connection: connection with nature, connection with each other.
