"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."

The Last Print of the Year

The last couple of days have been spent editioning the mezzotint plate that I have finally finished working on. For those interested in the more technical aspects it's worked on a copper plate rocked in 24 directions with a 2.5 inch wide 65 lines per inch Lyons Rocker. Printed with a mixture of Charcoal Black and Warm Black Inks from Hawthorn Printmakers on 220gsm Fabriano Rosapina paper.
