    This is beautiful, Elaine. I have no experience with wood carving, but I imagine this must have been difficult. All the curved lines in the face and the female body. But it looks so great! It is a beautiful, romantic, natural scene with a lot of purity in it. I like the vertical lines on the background; they add a certain tension to the image. Wow, you really are on the roll.

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    A great comment from you Martin! Perhaps RedBubblers could suggest a title? I don’t know what to call this one.

    An immediate visual impact. I like the natural look of the figure, the expressive nature of the linework and the colours. Very inspirational!

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    I’m delighted to receive such lovely feedback from you artlein – it’s very much appreciated.

    Silent Night?

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    I like it! Will definitely keep it in mind. There is another “nude” woodblock print on the way, but perhaps a very different feel about it – more one of a feeling of loss or desolation/desperation I think. They were going to be a pair, but I’m rethinking that aspect as they may be too different from each other. We’ll see what eventuates

    Wonderful Elaine! Excellent job! Titles are always difficult, what about Balancing Life’s Gifts? Or Pondering? See, it is difficult. ;D

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    Thank you so much for your feedback, Mariaan. I really appreciate your comment and your suggestions. I’ll keep these in mind. It is a difficult decision.

    Lovely work Elaine, I love the rich blue colour

  • Elaine van Dyk replied

    Thank you, Phil – the blue is Graphics oil-based printing ink called Milori. I love using it, but it sometimes behaves very strangely.
