Balance

Relief prints with Gamblin Inks

5"x7"

Been a bit out of balance lately.  Too heavy on the work side and too many hours in front of the computer.  Craving time in my home and garden, time to be out and about in my city, time to prepare a good meal, time to relax with family and friends.  Easing off (just a bit) on my self-imposed pressure to produce art.  Remembering that there are only so many hours in a day and one can't do it all.   Looking forward to being outside; walking on streets strewn with freshly fallen horse chestnuts, inhaling the crisp air and feasting on the glorious colors of the autumn foliage.

Cheers!

Well...no "lace leaf" prints yet, although I did manage to get back to the Star Magnolia tree to collect some more of the semi-decomposed leaves for a future printing session.    Many hours of printing on Saturday produced plenty of frustration and many fragments of useable decorative papers.  Here are two prints that became more complete with the addition of Prismacolors.

I've had several wonderful days with family -- time always passes much too quickly.  Now I'll turn my attention to getting caught up with what other artists have been creating -- another treat.
