Lines in the water - linoprint

So the last few days I have begun printing the lino plate from my previous post. I tried out a couple of colour ways and also over printing on to a pre-printed background.

It was whilst I was inking up the plate in the top image colourway that I thought....hold on I have been here before....March 2018 (handy that I have been blogging for so long as it meant I could go back to check when)....a predecessor methinks..... How did I not make that connection? I am coming to realise that my working practise is circular or maybe that should be tidal? Themes wax and wane like the moon's pull on the ocean. I don't feel like I am reworking old ground though...rather eroding away at ideas until I reach (maybe one day if I am lucky) the essence of the thing. Back to mulling over ideas as to where this is going...time for a walk.

My mind goes to fields of green or yellow (rapeseed) growing in these lines, although I do like the blue and white prints. Have you thought about changing up the colors a bit? Not that I want you to move away from water, sand, waves, sky and rocks that you do so well - just something to think about and shake it up a bit? And yes, I love the previous set you did! So many beautiful prints you have done - which reminds me, it’s time to order a few more journals for myself from your site!

Ooohhh yes! That could be interesting....I will add that to my print list. If only there were more hours in a day....sigh...
You have reminded me too that I have new work to upload to RedBubble...another endless list ;o)

Best wishes.
