I look forward to more of this series. Your mixed media always comes together in a magical combination and this is no exception.

Thanks Robyn :>) I'm watching sketches of Italy with you in envy!
Anita said…
Vivien - these are gorgeous. I agree with Robyn about your mixed media. Wish I was more experimental. I need to learn to let go. Any tips?
Julie Dunion said…
This works beautifully on so many levels, Vivien. Hope you will share more in this series as you create them.
vivien said…
Thanks :>)

tips? just pick up whatever is going to make the kind of marks you want snd push and pull the image til you think it's working - this went through some VERY ugly stages!
don't lose the lovely subtlety of your work though Anita

Thanks Sue :>)

The new ink cartridge arrived today so tomorrow I have to finish his book off, print and put it together.

Let's hope he likes it.

He's alos getting Lynne Chapman's new one (Bears on the Stairs) complete with original drawings in the covers :>) he loved her last one.

This is beautiful, I'm sure it will do very well at the show.
This is so beautiful I can't wait to see more of the series. Thank you for showing close ups too. Your enjoyment of the process shines through in the marks that you have made.

Cathy and Lisa thank you - I'm determined to get on with some more tomorrow. We've been away visiting family and so no painting happening
