More printmaking...


...i am really "in like" with printmaking. It is an amazing process, and i get to work with my hands. Which is a nyce change from all computerized work. Good ole craftwork in process (old skool we like). Pablo Picasso, the wonder painter, created this artprint which i like a lot.It is called, simply, " Woman with a Flowered Hat" It contains different texture, and an interesting variety of lines and patterns. I am fascinated by the way that he chooses what should be white, grey and what should be black. Inspired by his work, i wanted to make a face also. So i cut this design out of a block of pine wood. It is a self-portrait in its absolutely simplest form. Does it look like me? LoL I do think so. Sometimes i like the actual blocks more then the prints themselves. When lit nicely, they convey beautiful shadows and contrast in the design.Cozy!
