The textural elements you use to fill the negative areas and spaces are so print-like as though they are the work of a graphic artist or printmaker. this intriques me. Have you ever had the pleasure of working in lithography. When I was at the MICA it had these antique, huge, printing presses on the top floors. They seemed to me like elephants, then. I'm sure they're gone now. Anyway your drawing techniques would perfectly adapt you to lithographies. I'm almost certain you've done these. I'll have to put some of my conti work up. I don't have much time to work anymore although I'm sometimes tempted to just chuck it all, pick up my brushes and disappear into the wetlands forever. I don't dare go there or I know it would suck me in...no pun intended...Ed

I guess my own filling methods emulate the way the printing presses achieved their effects but mine are all done by hand. I visited a printing press in Bombay some years bacl and yes, the equipment there was straight from a hundred years ago, not elephants but mammoths and mastodons!

I am definitely the landscape or seascape calliber. Those old printing presses were so "intimidating"...as though they'd eat you...ed

Posts: 4032 (01/23/09 08:44:21) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I know the feeling. My father was Chief engineer in the Maritime Service and as a toddler I can remember the fear of having to walk up and down the huge ropes to get onto of off the vessel. I also had trouble negotiating the doors which, of course, were a good foot off the deck. The engine room which I was more supervised in was this huge other-world environment that was spotlessly clean. You could eat off the floor...ed
