Train journeys are romantic I find - all those possibilities!

It's all happening for us train enthusiasts (or is it just me?) as today marks 200 years since the Stockton and Darlington Railway opened in 1825 - the birth of the modern railway.
So here are some of the many railway linocuts I have done over the years - too many, I hear you say? Surely not… 😂

I have a linocut to suit every occasion - this one is called Tube Strike ☹️

Maybe I’ll do both! 😁

Thank you - I suppose it depends on whether you’re seeing the set all at once or one at a time!

Gail Brodholt @gailbrodholt.bsky.social · Aug 30

Thank you - and yes, a lot depends on whether you see them all together or singly, I guess!

I spent the summer making tiny b/w linocuts of the months, and finally printed the first six. Then came a thought (oh dear) - what if I added a little colour? Now, of course, I can’t decide - see what you think. Just when you think you’ve finished…

#InternationalDogDay rolls around again so here’s a dog taking its owner for a scenic walk down by the canal under the Westway 🐕‍🦺

I'm dusting down this little linocut of beach huts for all of you lucky people away for the August Bank Holiday - hope it’s a good one! 😎

I’ve just finished a few more copies of ‘Any Given Saturday’ which are now in my shop - unfortunately what should’ve taken me a couple of weeks has taken me four months so I can’t feel all that pleased with myself 😬

Thank you! I don’t like using the reduction method as I change my mind too much - so it’s four separate blocks 🙂

Gail Brodholt @gailbrodholt.bsky.social · Aug 13

Tube journeys would be more fun that’s for sure!

2

Gail Brodholt @gailbrodholt.bsky.social · Aug 12

Agreed - it would certainly make the journey more fun!

Anyone ever seen a tube carriage like this? No, me neither 😁

In celebration of 200 years of the railway, which I think was back in March but who’s counting, here’s a detail of my linocut of Paddington station - and the whole print being printed

To say I'm working at a leisurely pace on this linocut is a bit of an understatement. Still, I think I’m happy with this version - unless I change my mind again…🤔

An old proof of my linocut of the Shard with the editioned print. As the original is almost sold out, I’m thinking of making a new version - experimenting with colour is so carefree as the blocks have already been cut, ready to use again…

Four lino blocks - interesting to see what they make when they’re printed together 😊
