This is an open edition signed art print of my original watercolour painting, “The Icebreaker”, conceived as part of a series I’m painting involving children and umbrellas. I love the umbrella as a metaphor for agency and self determination; in this piece I’m playing with themes of freedom and curiosity. With a mittened-hand trailing, a child travelling across the Arctic ice by umbrella, effortlessly opens the glacial surface to reveal mysterious waters; a poetic daydream. In an escape to the most distant and inhospitable place one can think of, we find serenity, calm and control over our own destiny.

Open edition ink jet print, 5 × 7” or 8 × 10” including a white border. The print is titled and signed by me, JC Little, on the front, and it is stamped with my embossed insignia. Printed with fade resistant Claria Photo HD Ink on Epson Watercolor Paper, Radiant White. I have calibrated the print to be as close to the original painting as possible. A Certificate of Authenticity and a Framing Guide is included with this print. It’s recommended to frame it behind UV filter glass, with an acid-free matte, and display away from direct sunlight to preserve the print from deterioration and fading. It will be packaged with an archival sleeve, and either packaged flat or carefully rolled into a cardboard shipping tube depending on the size. To avoid waste, where ever possible I will re-use mailers and other packaging materials.
