I've been working on a series of 4 small prints the laat few weeks. I noticed a call from Leicester Print Workshop for prints of less than 100 sq cm. It calls for a max of 3 prints, so I thought that if I did 4 I could pick the best 3. I wanted them to be "me" so I thought I'd start from last summer's life drawings that have given so generously recently. When I was looking at the drawings of Naomi, standing, lying down etc, the heraldic descriptions, "Salient", "Dormant", "Couchant" and "Rampant" came to me. That stupid idea gave me enough excitement to carry through the series. Some of the drawings needed to be tweaked to a greater or lesser extent to achieve that idea, and they all developed in parallel.
I printed the first 2 today and, I hope, will get the other 2 printed tomorrow. This one needed the least tweaking, but allowed me to develop ideas for the wallpaper and other props.
