New Printmaking

Printmaking has been calling to me again lately and these two 'Flower Pot' hand coloured relief prints mounted on cradled wood panels gallery depth are two from a series of 6 that I made for a spring garden tour show called "Plantastic".  I am very pleased to say that 4 went to a new home that day!

I am now working on 3 more plates in a "Flower Pots" series featuring pots from my gardens.  These are small gems at 6" x 6" and the new additions to this series will be 8" x 8".

It is fun to do some printmaking again after painting and collaging this past winter.  I like to mix it up - it keeps me on my toes!!

Birthday Present

I am happy to have had my two Canada Geese prints juried into the 2010 International Miniature Print Exhibition and am looking forward to seeing the show at the opening vernissage this evening. The link to the online gallery is: www.2010internationalminiprintexhibition.blogspot.com

Happy Birthday to Me!

Good Day

Finally, after two months of house renovations, packing, sanding, painting, unpacking and cleaning I got a day to myself to get some artwork done!

I have wanted to do some linoleum prints for some time but couldn't quite grasp the process. This is the year for the Third International Miniature Print Exhibition at the Ottawa School of Art and I am hoping to get two prints done to submit for jury. This one still needs a few tweaks and tomorrow I will start a second.

I am exhausted after working for about 7 hours on this one today but very happy to be working at my art again. I have one more day to work on the second plate and then will be getting organized to go on vacation for a few weeks.

It will be nice to be in the sun and sand and relax!
