This Bernard Hoyes piece is: 25ins X 18.5ins. It is a mixed medium piece.
Hoyes said it was from the first exhibition he did in Jamaica.
"That's one of the best pieces from that era," says Hoyes.
"Very early pen and ink, dyes coated in glue. It was a technique that
I developed to make the dyes. Color fast. It seems to work, it still has it's brilliance."
