    You have got some great textures in this collagraph Whirligig. I am assuming you used tin foil for the sky, it looks so effective.

    Well-chosen title. I haven’t seen Melbourne in winter for nearly twenty years but this captures the mood, all right.

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    Thanks LostBoy1. But it’s rather drab compared to your bright and quirky work!

    I still find more muted colour pieces apealing..this piece has lots of details and textures.

    there is lots of colours in this too…just not blinding amounts ;)

    I loved this work so much I just had to leave a comment.
    Simply the most beautiful thing I have ever had the pleasure to see.
    It truely is a work of art.
    I especially love the depth and texture as well as the atmosphere it brings.
    The blues are so vibrant and beautiful.
    Well done.
    I am no artist, just a poet, but I must say it is a Masterpiece. I simply adore it….

    MunificentChild, thank you so much for such a lovely comment, which is all the more appreciated because you say you are not a visual artist yourself, but have simply stopped by to let me know how much you adore this work. That means a lot to me.

    you welcome “ELAINE VAN DYK”
    I just added some beautiful poetry if you would like to have a read.
    I think you might enjoy the one called “Metamorphosis” its about the description of a butterfly.
    And Its almost like a painting, but with words instead of paint. I hope you can see my descriptions. lol Its free-verse though, no rhyme… Well thanx and hope you enjoy it…
    love to hear your take on it.. _

    I love this collagraph print—is it done with an etching press or by hand? Beautiful control of your shapes and very effective textural effects!

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    Thank you for your feedback, robyn. It was done a long time ago, but from recollection it was run through the etching press.
