Quails on the line

When I lived on Vancouver Island, I regularly saw families of California Quail, bumbling around, looking somewhat officious, yet completely adorable. This is an original lino block printed quail on cream-coloured Japanese kozo, or mulberry paper, 10.5 inches by 7.75 inches or 26.6 cm by 19.7 cm. It is inked 'à la poupée' which means small areas are inked in different colours, using a single lino block. It is one of a first edition of only 8 prints.
