0313 - 2026.08 Flower with black leaves
Did this on vinyl rather than Lino. Different cutting experience but smoother lines. For fun I then ran it through an app on my old iPhone. Added colour. Certainly quicker than getting the paintbrush

0307 - 2026.07 Edge of the World 4
Another in the series, this time I’ve actually done a Lino print with watercolour, and brightened digitally. What’s at the bottom? ———————————————————— Technique: #lino Theme: #abstract Highlight col

0305 - 2025.07 Edge of the World 3
The hand drawn digital prints (like 0304 and 0300) are lovely and bright, but lack texture. This is from a charcoal drawing, water coloured in grey, pale red and a muted yellow, with a little blue Ju

This bears no relationship to the inspiration, a simple drawing of two hills in muted greys. Done in print class with a limited range of Akua colours to choose from - and not the yellows I was planni

0300 - 2026.07 edge of the world 1
A random idea - the best sort - popped into my head while visiting my mother, scribbled onto a card in my pocket. I scribbled around on my phone with a few ideas before trying this out. A hand drawin

0303 - 2026.07 Which way?
Scratched the original idea on a napkin, like so. Always pays to have a sharpie in one’s pocket. I had a couple of titles before settling on “Which way?” The usual Lino cut, watercolour and digital

0280 - 2026.05 Thinking and destiny (flower pot) - proof
An experiment printing onto a page of an old book, in this case Thinking and Destiny by Harold W. Percival 1946. This is a picture of the framed result, I don’t have the proportions quite right. Or m

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

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

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

0227 - 2025.08 Red Mountain ‘07
Back in 2007 I started playing with ink doodles that I scanned, printed and coloured. (See 0060 for another example.) While I catalogued them at the time I rediscovered this one in a frame that wasn’

0056 - 2023.12 Blackbean
The flowers on the Castanospermum Australe Black Bean tree were, I discovered when out walking, more on the internal branches. Different, I thought; I should do a Lino print, and took a photo. The le

This is a reduction print, trying the technique for the first time, in two colours. The inspiration came from a flower in my mother’s garden. #lino #flower #orange
