Twait Shad Fish– Print

This signed print by Louise Stocker displays a cute, colourful fish swimming amongst seaweed.

Although this particular Twait Shad fish is very happy swimming in a turquoise, aqua seascape with a tiny shoal of white fish overhead and a wavy piece of kelp on the rocky ocean floor, the species is so rare now that it’s protected in the UK.

The original painting was created as part of the Edinburgh Shoreline ‘100 Species Project’ to raise awareness of its plight.

The print is taken from an original watercolour, ink and coloured pencil illustration and with its fun style would look lovely in a child's bedroom or nursery or would fit perfectly into a coastal-themed bathroom.

Louise lives in the tiny little fishing village of Cellardyke having moved there in 2015 to fulfil a lifelong dream to live by the sea with its stunning scenery and slower pace of life.

The village which merges into the vibrant seaside town of Anstruther is situated in the beautiful East Neuk of Fife which is on the Eastern coastline of Scotland.

Inspiration is never far away within the areas picture-postcard villages, its glorious sandy beaches, its wildlife and the craggy coves of this unspoilt little corner or ‘nook’ of Scotland.

Each giclée print is reproduced using the highest quality inks on Somerset 255gsm paper to ensure the print will remain vibrant for over 100 years. The paper has a beautiful texture that makes it barely distinguishable from the original watercolour painting.

The limited edition is of 200 with each being signed by the artist.

The print is available as an unframed mounted print or fully framed and ready to hang, in a white frame which also comes with a stand so the picture can be freestanding if required.
