This art print shows how one could adapt an old, larger living space into three functional areas. The original image comes from the 'Ideal Homes' magazine of July 1946; the month my parents married in Nottingham and would have set up their house together. I produced this work thirty years later and offered them a copy from the series as an anniversary present.
For a while, a number of friends, colleagues and individuals responding sympathetically to the idea of living in a property converted from its original design concept, chose to acquire copies of this very domestic setting for themselves; consequently this print series enjoyed some degree of sales success. However, when I stopped working as an artist in the late 1970s, I chose to store the prints away safely in one of my plan chests. As this image really does seem to express what was then considered to be a desirable image of domestic comfort and, having recently aligned myself with Artlimes, it seemed propitious to once again offer the remaining signed prints for sale .
The image shows the Artist's proof framed behind glass; there are still a number of signed prints available unframed, which will be posted in a robust cardboard tube.
