Spring!

Another spring with flowers, leaves and beaches! It is about 70 degrees and sunny today, a record breaking spring day! I don't do many flower images but here are two clay relief etchings, "Tulip" and "Iris", to herald the new season. (I am creativly challenged when it comes to naming my work.) These are printed a la poupee, the plates are colored with ink prior to printing. This technique is a bit more challenging that coloring after printing when you can "color in the lines".

Sea Sea Sea

This one is for artist David Jien out in CA whose print I have yet to hang on my wall. Have you been on my side of the world of late David? Who else writes such deep messages on walls?
The surf today is spectacular, normally I would put art up here rather than photos as I can't claim to be other than a snapshot taker. But the scenes are art-worthy! The sea wall is about 20 feet high.
