Three monoprint explorations on the mangata theme. They are experiments in technique as much as concept. There is something very meditative and calming about trying to capture this idea which I hope comes across in the images. After using paynes grey oil paint in the previous posts drypoint I treated myself to a new etching ink by Charbonnel in the same colour. This is what I have used in Mangata I & II below. It's a little bluer in colour but perfect for this subject I think.

Thank you Rhonda. I have been reading about this solstice's strawberry moon - a new one on me. It sounds rather delicious ;o) We had clear nights so it was a sight to see - rather inspiring!
