I found this little print tucked away this past summer and forgotten... until today! I finished it and made a nice series on Unryu paper. I want to try this out with my new red water-based graphic chemical ink. For today, though, I just used the black ink that I was working with for another print. Oh, and I need to add my chop mark. As usual, I'm just excited and wanted to share it right away. I think I was reading about Van Gough's drawings when I started this piece and that shows through in the finished product.

New print! 4"x4" sqr. Black water-based Graphic Chemical ink on natural kitakata heightened with water-color from reverse side. The photo reference was taken at the Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison, Wisconsin. This print is about noticing the details and finding beauty in all things. Ever see the flash off the back of a bottlefly? it is the most brilliant blue-green hue.
