As Caroline's book is all about strong images and forms, I decided to do this flower for her. I used 4 inks only (the green is under the gold on one leaf to accentuate it). I painted over strips of newspaper, which always gives depth to a piece. I loved the startlingly vibrant effect.
Hope you like this Caroline. It will be winging its way to Marianne on Monday.
As I said on your blog...beautiful and perfect for Caroline's journal!
ReplyDeleteI'm finally working on mine this weekend ;)

Dear Jossie!! How strong and beautiful this image is! I enlarged your pic to investigate and saw the underlying Chinese graphics - perfect addition! Oh, can't wait to get my book home!! Thank you sooo much! x
