"The artist is also a born adventurer. His explorations, unlike those of the tourist, are rewarded by the discovery of beauty spots unmentioned in the guide books, and with tireless curiosity and an exceptional proneness to wonderment, he will come upon objects of remarkable interest overlooked or even shunned by more disciplined observers."

Augustus John, R.A.

New Mezzotint

Not really new as I've been working on this mezzotint plate since early January. As the plate is now nearing completion I have been experimenting with inking. This is printed with a 50% Lapis Blue Opaque and 50% Indigo mix, blending through 100% Indigo to a 50% Sap Green and 50% Indigo mix.
