I’ve been looking at some wonderful work on a WordPress site this morning that has truly inspired me and I’m wondering if I can resurrect this blog. I notice my last post was in 2013. As I write an almost daily diary on Blipfoto, where I share updates on my progress (or lack of it) in terms of printmaking and photography, (I also share with Friends via Facebook), I’m not sure if I can keep this going too. I’ve often thought it would be so valuable to have a blog that is devoted to the artwork I’m doing, so here goes. I’ll try again!
In terms of my printmaking I’ve felt a bit stalled over the summer (though I have continued my photography with some enthusiasm). Some time to talk with Sean at Hot Bed Press last Tuesday and to share with him some mono-print landscapes that I’d done a few years ago has freed me. He was quite enthusiastic, but I’ve never quite felt these were finished.
I’ve just returned from a week on the North York Moors with my head and Lightroom Gallery filled with the sights, colours and forms of the moors. So Tuesday saw me creating two new mono prints based on our visit to the highest point on that part of the moor at Danby Beacon. I’ve decided to work these using a similar principle to some watercolour duo colour sketches I’ve been doing recently, which is to keep repeating them from memory until I come up with something that works.
