First in terms of art-making - I started another kestrel block. This one is slightly larger, 12 x 12," and the goal is to have more options from which to make a series. |
| New marbled paper with image for plate - Feline Assistant, Sr. helping establish scale. |
In trying to place the previous kestrel, I also concluded that these need to be a little bigger, so I marbled paper - 3 sheets of 16 x 20" and 2 sheets of 18 x 24." I made a new polyester lithography plate to use in the background...the only thing is that the larges plates I have are 10 x 15," so I made the plate fade toward the edges so I can fill in parts by hand and (hopefully!) it won't be too jarring. I may also make a block to print on top of it in front (Hmmmmmm.)
In creature news, I'm so happy my little flock seems to be so well bonded - they eat and sleep together.
And now...landscape shots. It was so hard to choose!
A few themes emerged: vistas
Then stand out colors/shapes of trees within a vista
Then individual trees that I like for their color and/or shape
As we can see - it was a very pretty tree week! Lots of material for future collage landscapes :)
