"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.

Slow Progress

 I started working on this mezzotint back at the end of January and in fits and starts it's been slow progress since then. This impression printed earlier this week is at the 5th State and still there is a long way to go with a lot more scraping and burnishing required to make the whites really pop out.





Much quicker progress has been made on this small print of a magnolia flower. The platework is finished and ready to edition.
