triptychs and the like

Succulent blossom in dirty blue - drypoint etching
Fragments - drypoint etching
I've been printing! These are recent drypoint etchings I picked up from the studio this morning. They've been there drying under the boards for about 2 weeks. The first one, the triptych, took a lot of painstaking registration work to get those 3 panels inked up and sitting just right. But something in me really enjoyed the challenge. So much so that I have another flora based triptych in the planning stages and if all goes well I'll be printing later this week. Stay tuned!

  2. I am a fan of most triptych work, and I really like the color of the flora in this piece. I would really like to see the new piece as well. This is really challenging work, which I can appreciate even if I cannot do it all that well myself.
