Snowgums

Three colour linoprint. Snowgums.
I used to love going to the Snowy Mountains in spring for family holidays – it was the best time to see wildflowers and enjoy the wonderful gums, with their interesting shapes and all the shades of colours in their bark.

    I must be attracted to those blues :) Love all your work but the colour in the blue ones make them stand out. Wonderful linocuts all of them!

    Thanks Mrana – You are definitely a colour person! I have been thinking it would be good to try handcolouring of black and white prints. These relief prints are SO much work and really tricky! Need to expand my horizons! Thanks for the comments.

    Fantastic result here Jean. Is it a reduction linocut or did you have three seperate plates?

    It’s a reduction lino cut. I haven’t yet mastered using multiple plates yet.
