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.

Three Strawberries



















This is a monotype I did for a possible project for my sister.  I thought I would post them since they are kind of fun.  I have been working on a couple of paintings and some collagraphs which I will be posting in the next couple of days.

I was commissioned to do a portrait of Bruno . . . I think he looks like quite a character.

Lookdown on Green #7 (Hand-Pulled Collagraph of Game Fish)

Edition Size:  10

The lookdown is a game fish which is usually silvery on both sides. (I have obviously taken some liberty here in my color choices).   In the western Atlantic, the lookdown is found from Canada and Maine south to Uruguay, which includes Bermuda and the Gulf of Mexico.  They usually live in shallow water near the coast, along hard or sandy bottoms.  Below is the black and white before I added color

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.
