"RUNNING ON EMPTY"

"RUNNING ON EMPTY"

Another embellished oil monoprint (SOLD)

on scans of Fortuny fabric.

The sketchy monoprint line surrounds

the Fortuny hand-print.

Letter forms in watercolor describe

what's in the bowl.

There's a little colored pencil in the composition, too.

A few prints are available.

"MES AMIS"

WHILE I'M WAITING

for frames to arrive,

let's look at

"MES AMIS."

The original (sold) is a monoprint

with acrylic and watercolor on scans

of Fortuny fabric.

That design atelier's great patterns

are a joy to see.

The smiling heart and beads are painted

over a Fortuny border design. 

The flower hand-print is on very fine cotton.

This portion of the scan

shows a little of the frayed cotton edge.

I usually employ watercolor or gouache for my letter forms.

The crown's edge and face perimeter show 

the oil monoprint's sketchy line quality. 

'WOMAN IN BLUE LIGHT'

MONOPRINT on

scan of vintage Fortuny.

Acrylic wash and color

with enamel.

The eyes are lit with

Corectype film.
