Winter Leave, monoprint

There's something about working in a medium that you are unfamiliar with that can really get the juices flowing. I might not be highly paid or recognized but that never really mattered to me. The art mattered. I created it for me, to express....whatever. My best work seems to be the stuff of discovery and learning. 

My creative process can sometimes be fickle. Times when it seems no matter what I do it looks like crap. Occasionally when I'm doing something just to loosen up something like this happens. When I set it aside just after printing I was disappointed, later after it had dried I saw what it had become. 

End of Summer

Took this picture about a week ago. I love these late summer flowers. Their bright yellow and black centers always remind me of hot summer days and good memories.

I've decided to create little cards for each of my 'colors.' Those that know me know what I mean. In essence they will look similar to tarot cards when I'm done and I want to keep them about playing card size. Simple design/symbolism so they are easily understood. The hard part... where to start!?

So I think I'll start with yellow because of these bright and sunshine flowers have inspired me. Pictures to come.
