Surprise by Doug Hyde

'Surprise' (2009) has proved to be a very sort after limited edition print by Doug's many collectors. Apart from the obvious connotations from the title for giving the piece as present, it is of course a gorgeous artwork in its own right – as is its sister piece the 'Surprise - sculpture.'

Notice the fantastic use of shading and colour variation Doug has used on just the red bow itself and I believe he did this using only pastels! There is a depth and richness to this print, we haven’t seen in sometime.

The public often seek to purchase this one and the similarly titles: 'The Gift' (2010), as these make stunning and meaningful gifts.
