Hi Robert,
Your work is beautiful! and the website is very nice and clean and easy to navigate
For my two cents, I think Id add an etsy link in each section rather than just in the contacts.
Cheers,
Lee

Yes Jean I am curious also about your three prints...my first Dragon! Etchings or drypoints? My dragon will be late this year, will be 'away' for most of February but will get to work shortly after I return.

Pauline, you asked about sizing paper. I have never sized paper for myself, though I watched it done once. Did you check out David Bull's page on sizing? It has photos and explanations.

Send Message: To this poster

I've been a member of Baren for many years but I've never figured out how to post a message so I'm going to try this.

I was primarily a monotype printmaker living in Montreal until we retired and returned to Australia in 2006,but still with a foothold in Canada - first Montreal then moved to Whistler in BC in 2008. Life gets complicated in many ways and also busy when you live in two countries, children and grandchildren in both. Everyone wants a piece of you when you are around. And I thought I was going to be a printmaker in retirement.... In Montreal I spent many years studying at a fine art studio a few blocks from my home and it was there that I was introduced to monotype printmaking. I was hooked from that moment. After several years however I wanted to learn more techniques. On return to my home city of Canberra I found Megalo Print Studio - a mecca of printmaking, partly funded by the local government and a mere $50 a year membership. Between Megalo and the Baren daily digest, although still a beginner,I have learned a lot so I signed up for
Exchange 50 - nearly pulled out when it got to 100!!! So happy I didn't.

First of all, I had no wood. So I went to the local timber store and they set me up withsome plank cherrywoodand cut it into 4 and 5 inch lengths for me. It was rough plank but it was great. I had three designs in mind and after carving four blocks I gave up on the first two and went with Plan C. I finally completed the printingand posted them off a few days before returning to Australia for the summer in mid-November. My beautiful little box of prints arrived from Gayle a couple of days before Christmas. Life has been a whirlwind since I got back, especially January (and not all good) so I apologise most sincerely for not having thanked all my fellow printmakers for the wonderful work they did. I love all my little prints - thank you, thank you, thank you!

And thank you to Baren - I'm learning and gaining confidence with each exchange.
