Out for a Stroll #13 - Collagraph of Wild Turkeys

I recently received a surprise in the mail.  The Art League of Hilton Head sent me a letter informing me that this collagraph received First Place in the "All Other" category (which basically includes printmaking and drawing) in their 2013 Biennale, a national juried exhibition.  The bonus was the nice check that was enclosed.  Believe me this doesn't happen very often.

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"
