Blue Jays #1 - Collagraph of Large Songbird

Well it has taken me a while, but here are the "bullies" of the bird kingdom. I am going to try and mock this up with some color in the background.  If I come up with something I like I will post another version sometime in the near future.

Mortimer - Poodle Mix Dog

Well here's Mortimer.  I just met him the other day and he is a very sweet dog.  He looks to me to be a miniature golden doodle and was told that he is possibly a bichon mix.  Anyway I think my two black labs intimidated him a bit because he was very ready to leave.

The image size is 7" x 9.5"

Paper size is 9" x 11.25"

Sandpipers 1

I am planning on printing color on this composition, but it might take me a bit to get around to it. The black and white isn't bad so I thought I would post it now and then post the color version in the next few days. (I hope).

The image size is 5.25" x 19.5"

Red-Breasted Nuthatch #2 (Collagraph of Female Bird)

One of my customers commissioned me to do a collagraph of this funny little bird.  I think I have only seen white-breasted nuthatches here in Missouri and had figured that one day I would do a collagraph of one of those guys hanging upside down on a tree (which still may happen).  But for now here's my version of the red-breasted female.

The image size is 7" x 9"

Skiff in the Fog #1 (Monotype of Turqoise Trimmed Boat)

Skiff in the Fog #1
Image Size: 4.25" x 7.5"
Paper Size: 5.5" x 9"

Whenever I need to adjust the pressure on my press I run a test.  I have been looking at this photo my sister posted recently for quite some time and thought I would try to do something with it. What a nice change from those crazy collagraphs I have been working on.
