The fatigue is very slow to leave me. Wah wah wah. I'm so sick of complaining about that, I could puke. But there you are.
Thanks to the fatigue, I had to skip the first session of my new linocut class last Wednesday, because I was pretty sure I couldn't stand on my feet for 4 hours, which is what I have to do when I'm printing all evening. However, I was able to attend it this week. This lino plate took quite a lot of carving time, as you can imagine. Very creative people in my new class. I look forward to getting ideas and inspiration from them. It's also great to see Katie (the teacher) again. She and I are such kindred spirits.
Thank you so much for sharing it.

Beautiful print. Miss you!
ReplyDeleteThat linocut is gorgeous! I'm glad you were able to attend this week's class. :)
ReplyDeleteHow big is the print? I love the birds! Do you do the original drawings for the prints? Your artistic side has surfaced in so many areas: drama, dance, writing, and now art...you've got it baby! Let me know when the fatigue lifts so I can come up and we can see the impressionist exhibits in SF together! Love, me
ReplyDeleteKristene, this is my biggest print yet, about 8 1/2" x 13". I generally use a photo as the starting point for a print, but I just draw it onto the linoleum with a watercolor pencil directly while looking at the photo. Some people use tracing or carbon papers, but I find that too fussy. I so want to see that exhibit with you. The fatigue doesn't generally hit me until mid-afternoon, so come up now (or whenever is convenient). I'm not going anywhere. And thanks for the compliments. *blush*
ReplyDeleteWow, Dennis. That is really just so lovely. I would *love* a print of it, if you're so inclined. :-)
ReplyDeleteHave so enjoyed seeing your prints on facebook. Love you, miss you!! Keep up the amazing artwork!
ReplyDeleteThat is really amazing Dennis! I love it!
