Bontebok of the Cape

Thanks Karin. I’ve started the description thing as I found I’m really interested in how others achieve certain effects, and always look for that in the description myself.

Thank you MaryO. I’m really pleased to see you picked up on that tension, the constant vigil of totally wild antelope. At the same time the stillness of a remote place.

FlyBoy, you always make such and effort to write beautifully about peoples’ work, and that is enormously appreciated. But if you become too tired, as we all do, I think everyone would still appreciate even a one-word comment from you because they are genuine.

Lovely feedback from you Cindy! Thanks heaps.

Very much appreciated coming from you, Bernd.

Thanks Shanina. I’m not sure about all the Bubble printmakers (I’m not thinking about myself in suggesting they be featured), but I do believe there are some really amazing works of art in that group. And it being a little known, or understood art form, it would be so good to have it “out there” to make it more widely appreciated.

You’re very kind pinkyjain – lovely comment, thanks.

Lovely comment, hugo! I’m smiling….......

Your comments are so much appreciated Sabine. Thanks.

Imber, after seeing your portfolio I feel really honoured to get this comment from you! Thank you.

Colour is fun, but there is a lot to be said for black and white too. Thanks for the comment, termite.

Your feedback is appreciated and most welcome. I’m pleased this image appeals to you. Thanks.

Thanks for your feedback Mariaan. It certainly is a very exciting medium to work with, and as you say, can be applied to many different types of surfaces.

Many thanks for commenting. It’s always difficult to know which variation of a print to post. I have a few variations in colours of this plate, but ended up only showing this one.

Thanks Marion. I used oil-based inks for this print. I don’t seem to have much success with water-based printing inks, so normally always use oil-based inks.

Thank you very much, Elné.

shanghaiwu, that is such a lovely comment. I am flattered…..thank you very much. Coming from you, with your exquisite work, it is a real honour. I’ve just recently purchased a book on Japanese woodblock prints because I’ve become so intrigued by the fine detail of Japanese work, and I am going to try some of those printmaking techniques. I’ve always felt my own work to be “clumpy” by comparison. Your feedback has been very encouraging.
