Solstice also known as Litha marks midsummer. Until now, the sun has been waxing and nature's energy building: now reaching its pinnacle, but it's also means that the cycle must continue and the dark half of the year is on the horizon. At the summer solstice, the Oak King surrenders his crown to the Holly King, the sun starts to wane, night slowly begins to lengthen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rook linocut on paper... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #everydaymagic #seasonalchange #solstice #litha #linocut.#printmaking #blockprinting #monoprint #utbanbird #contemporaryart #birdart #birdartist #wildbird #contemporaryprintmaking #get_imprinted #ukprintmakers .#magpieart #printmaker #oneofforiginal
