I have been making it a practice to get up each morning and do a monoprint from my garden. This print is taken from a Grevillea bush, a native of Australia. It attracts birds such as the Blue Eyed Honeyeater into my garden who drink from the nectar then delight in taking crazy dive bomb exercises into our pool. At the moment I am mapping the garden, in time I want to map various areas with the native flora near where I live. I am doing a display in my local library next year and this work is the foundation for the exploration of that display. I live in a bayside suburb of Brisbane with mangrove walks and bushland ringing the waters here which will provide rich pickings for monoprints. It is a quiet way of working and I am finding a new direction through monoprints from my previous works in art and quilting. There is something about the clean images on paper that really appeals.
looks good
