The Mysterious Dragonfly

The image size of  this collagraph measures 12.5" x 19".  This guy caused me some problems.  I originally wanted this to be a black and white image.  I liked the texture on the background but

knew it would cause me problems and it did.  It was just too much so I tried to tone the background back a bit which you can see below.  I was still not happy and decided to add color. That too was a challenge.  Anyway you can see the progression thus far.

Stilt on Circles #3 (Print, Fine Art, Collagraph) fourth stage

I printed another round of yellow ink to subdue the background somewhat.  In the process it killed some of the vibrancy of the color too.  I may have to come back in with more color . . . not sure.

I have been doing some smaller black and white collagraphs of fish and thought I would do a couple of larger pieces in color.  The image below is the b&w before I added color.
