Friendship Hands (Block Print with a New Type of Linoleum Block)

Image
Don gave me a new type of linoleum block to create block prints on,   The linoleum is not adhered to a wooden block - it is merely a block of linoleum and very flexible - much easier to cut into and print from,

Impressions of a Tree (In a Darker Ink)

Image
I reprinted the image from the block print I cut last night - and did the reprint in a darker color - which I believe enhances seeing the pattern on the block

Visage mélancolique (Modified) I did this acrylic facial abstract in April of 2017 and, as with a couple of other pieces I have done in the past, did not like the finished product - so I revisited the piece and reworked it - sometimes leaving a piece alone for a while and going back to it is helpful

Modification to Previous Watercolor

Image
The close up shows the original watercolor that I did in June 2015.  I was never really satisfied with the face on the original; therefore, after a lot of forethought, I went back to the original and did some modifications with watercolor pencil in an attempt to get a less "goony" looking face.
