How bright can I make this picture? That was the one thing I had in mind when I put together this mixed media piece. I'm crazy about bright colours, but you wouldn't know it if you saw me on the street. I wear mostly black and neutrals, but when it come to art I just can't get enough colour! While I was concentrating on how to put as much zing into this as I could without being garish I inadvertantly solved another delema of mine which is how to combine my printmaking and mixed media. Sometimes you have to stop thinking about something to find the answer. I also put together this blue one because blue is one of the most mezmerizing colours I find. These are my answer to the dark November days we've been having. I also managed to get another little lino done. It's been a productive week! Tomorrow is December 1st and I'm going to totally give up resisting the wave of Christmas frenzy that is everywhere and get swept away!!!

You know I LOVE your color...but, gosh darn it, I love your black and white lino, too! Are these on Etsy?

Thanks Kim!!! Yes the lino is in my Etsy shop. I have this one and a similar one of the same girl in a teacup. That one just sold tonight but the great thing about linocut prints is there's more than one so I just hit the renew button. First time I've been able to do that. I'm hoping to do a series of these, I really like doing them. They're more affordable because they are only one colour.
