I have done reduction linoprints for a few years now. I love this method of slowly destroying the linol”eum as more and more is cut away to add more colours.
I have recently begun to explore etching and drypoint. For the most part, they are my holiday from colour. Somehow, all that compression and and technique is a mystical experience. I love going to the print and drawing room of the Art Gallery of Ontario to examine Goya etchings in my gloved hands. I am a happy novice.
Both the etching above and the first linoprint are based on the same drawing I did of Twister, my cat, one cold winter day last January.
Here are a couple of dry points:
Below is state 2 of an etching called “Sleep” which I should be doing right now.

Beautiful work.
