Blackthorn, Cemex

 In Rugby, the cement works is an ever-present feature of the landscape. Like Mount Fuji.

Maybe I could do a series of these views. Could be 36. Though I suspect I might get bored by then. I've got about six in my mind right now. We'll see how they go.

The thing I found interesting here is that the two parts could each stand alone. I did conceive of them together as a single piece, but I could use them singly or together with some other block(s). All kinds of things could serve as background to the thorns and Cemex could stand behind some other shadowy figure.

Mother and daughter

 I've been working on this small linocut for weeks and not really getting anywhere.There was something here I wanted to do but there was just too much in my life to do anything with the idea. In the end I decide to do a smaller print than I originally had in mind and make it more...I don't know. At least I knew with a small print I could get something done in the time available. In the end it turned out ok.

Salon des Refuses

 For the month of December at the Alex. Work of local artists that have been rejected bu juried shows some time in the last couple years. It coincides with this year's Rugby Open which I failed to be selected for (sob). But really this looks at least as good on your CV. My works showing at the SdR are Kind of Blue, plus the piece shown above with 5 panels from Anna Bloom entitled, "Story without words".
