Saturday … exposure!

After a relative success at last Sunday’s Bookface; where I exhibited almost my entire works; which was my first mistake. Not the exhibition of course, that was a perfect platform where I learned much and ready to put some lessons into practice.  No! sadly I didn’t keep back any items to post later; for example today.  

I am not sure I am ready to exhibit again!

I spent this week working on print that I began last week in black on white.  Now I wanted to add coloured ink.  Little did I know how ‘stretching’ this would be, not only because I wanted to use four colours, I also wanted a larger image using 4 erasers (=8 in all for different inks) There were other implications, such as perspective, light and shade, depth of vision etc.

All of which went a little (or a lot) awry!

As my little still life in lamplight should have appeared to be on a table top, instead it has landed in the desert as result the scene is rather surreal.

Nonetheless I like it and I don’t expect Picasso will get excited either way!!
