Finally, something that resembles art.

To your left is Wednesday (the dog) walking through the woods near our house this morning. It was a very cool partly cloudy morning which usually translates into good artmaking. We'll see. I've been doing some experimental work myself. I wouldn't put anything in a book yet, but I am getting much closer to finally making some real art and that feels better. And so, today we'll peek into my messy desk situation. I've been printing the past week or so. The process is always a little surprising. Many times colors that look very different on the palette will print to appear almost identical.

So here is my desk with my inks and palette before I start getting too messy. Notice the two coffee/tea mugs.



Here is one print before being drawn on.


Below are three prints with different shades of brown.

And here is the semi-final picture.
