Black-capped Chickadee #2 (original black and white bird collagraph)

A number of years ago I created two color versions of a chickadee. The original background was blue and later I experimented with a green background. Recently one of my clients requested a black and white version. As a result I decided to create a new plate using some old and new textures in the hopes that the black and white version would stand on its own.

Image size is 6" x 9"

Paper size is 8.25" x 11"

Wise Guys (Original Collagraph of Burrowing Owls)

Wise Guys #5

Wise Guys #3

I originally created this collagraph in 2000. I designed it with my father in mind whom is always coming up with clever puns. I recently pulled a couple of these out of one of my piles and decided to try and update it a bit. I lightened the background and reprinted the texture and color on the green part of the body. I included a close up so that one could get a better idea of what the texture looks like on the background. The background in Wise Guys #3 is a little softer than the background in Wise Guys #5. The image size is 28" x 15.5" and the paper size is 31" x 18.5".

Stork on the Move #2 (Collagraph of Long-Legged Bird)

This is another version of the stork which has a brighter background. I personally like the more subtle background in my previous post. I took a different approach here where I started out printing some color on the bird, then printed the black plate and then printed the background color. Image size is 18.5" x 13.5", paper size: 21.5" x 15.5" and printed on arches cover white paper.

American Goldfinch #3 (Original Collagraph of Bright Yellow Bird)

Another request. Happily this was the preferred composition.
The image size of this guy is 9.25" x 7" and is printed on
arches cover white paper.

Resting Pelican #2 (Collagraph of Bird)

I created two larger versions of this pelican several years ago.

Due to their popularity I thought I would try to compose a smaller

version of this guy.  I did some experimenting with the background

and am still doing so.  This is how one of the first ones turned out.

My husband liked the plate as it was so I thought I would include

it in this post.

Original hand-pulled, textured, 

green, alizarin crimson, orange, yellow, collograph of a resting pelican.
