0235 - 2026.06 One flower with vines
Another one I started in August 2025 (like 0261) but didn’t finish until much later. ———————————————————- Technique: #lino Theme: #flower Highlight colour: #red #green Series: #garden

0306 - 2026.07 Trees
In my mind’s eye this should have turned out better, but it didn’t. This was the napkin sketch. In a strange way it’s got more feeling, though it could be an orange waterfall, from high peaks framed

0151- 2025.03 Four Flowers
After 0147, I thought it may look nice in my lounge room, but the colours were wrong. Easily fixed! The previous print, Van Gogh’s cornfield, had faded and looked drab, but was in a very large frame

I started this back in November but never got around to printing it. Which I did in June, six months later. ———————————————————- Technique: #lino Theme: #flower Highlight colour: #red #green Series:

0182 - 2025.05 Five flowers
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. ——————————————————

Eucalyptus trees lose their bark in summer. This one caught my eye at the local park, with the high morning sun casting vertical shadows and a clear white light. Technique: #photo Theme: #tree Highli

A month or so ago I went exploring for new subjects for my photography. Some nearby friends had poppies coming into flower, so an easy choice of subject. Technique: #photo Theme: #flower Highlight co

0174 - 2025.04 Flower and Bee
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

0171 - 2025.04 Two Flowers A
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

0164 - 2025.04 Three Flowers
I did this for a charity auction, and really like the result, I have a duplicate framed at home. The colours were modelled on my four flowers work (number) and it seemed to me that it made a pleasant

0071 - 2024.02 Rainbow Lorikeet on Gum blossom
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

0072 - 2024.02 Hibiscus
I discovered that the hibiscus is quite difficult to do as a Lino print with its variegated petals. When I saw and photographed the flower it was a windy afternoon and I thought to try c and build it

0075 - 2024.02 Two flowers and one bud
I had several attempts at this one, starting with a sharpie pen to try and do something different. It was rubbish. But when I get back to Lino the design comes out better. Something to do with the cu

0078 - 2024.04 Firewheel
Firewheel flowers are hard to draw, as they are often high in the tree and hard to see. But this one was low, so I had a go doing a Lino cut. The print at the top I ran through an iPhone app to give

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 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

If agapanthus appear often in this archive it’s because all the neighbours grow them along their front fences. And they are photogenic. Technique: #photo Theme: #flower Highlight colour: #purple Seri

We have a lot of Clivea in the garden, they make an excellent ground cover even if they are inclined to spread and get out of control. The ones in the garden are very orange, but have come out with f
