During the summer I spent pretty much time in upstate New York as a teenager. Our property was surrounded by dairy farms so I remember seeing a lot of these guys (oops . . . girls). The farmers would come up the hill to bring the cows in for milking at 4AM. Based on my sleeping habits I guess I could have become a farmer.
We used to have a pair of grosbeaks that came through every Spring. Unfortunately we haven't seen them in a couple of years. This is the latest addition to my bird collagraphs. I will probably do a version with a colored background in the near future so check back soon.
A friend of a friend asked me to do a collagraph portrait of their Morkie (combination of a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier). I haven't done a lot of work with dogs with longer hair so I wasn't sure how it would come out. Anyway these are two versions I came up with. The image size is 7.25" x 9.5". The paper size is 9.5" x 11.5".
Cornell Lab of Ornithology was seeking photos and artwork for their "Flights of Fancy" Challenge. This is what I came up with. The image size is 12" x 17.5" and is printed on Arches Cover White Paper.
My original intention was to do this guy in color. When I printed out the Black and White I kind of liked the attitude. Tomorrow I'll post the color version.
I created this wren initially with the intent to print only in black and white. I decided to add some color to this and see what would happen. So here it is. I kind of like it. The image size is 6" x 9".
