Inspired by my ‘Three Flowers’ that I did for charity (0164), I expanded the concept to five, and used the same colouring. It’s part of a set hanging in a nice brown frame at home. Technique: #lino T

My notes tell me I did this on the last day of term, meaning that I’ve been going to print making classes for two years. I think I may have got a little bit better over time and I’ve certainly settle

After impressing myself with three flowers (0164) I decided to do another one with two flowers. I made a mock up in my sketchbook, but when I came to the lineup, I had left the book at home. So I did

It’s summer. Walking the dog I found a tree with the gum blossoms in full flower getting the attention of an upside down rainbow lorikeet. I took a very poor iPhoto to remind me and then made up thi

Every free steps forward has a step backwards too. At this point I have been creating images for just a year, well creating Lino cut images. I have been photographing and doodling for ages. To do the

I can’t remember the name of this flower, and I failed to get a clear background. It is still quite nice, though. Technique: #photo Theme: #flower Highlight colour: #pink Series: #day-garden

I had a rush of blood to the head and went and took a series of pictures of flowering plants. This and others in the series were photographed in situ; no plants were harmed, as they say. How I did i
