Shades of Autumn - Acorns drypoint prints

Acorns that found their way into my pocket whilst out walking my dog. Each printed in a different autumnal shade and one in a soft warm charcoal black. I have two proof prints made whilst the plate was being tested for the edition which I may work into with mixed media at a later date. I have put a couple of the prints in both my Etsy and Folksy stores. 


I enjoyed printing the edition one print after another mixing the ink as I went adding to the colour left by the previous mix. I think I may do more of these with different motifs. It was nice to try something different.

Beautiful work, the acorns capture the mood of autumn.

Lisa these are a favorite subject of mine. I too have been spending time gathering them and working on art pieces. Have to move fast though or those squirrels and chipmunks will be hurrying to gather them up. Hugs!

Thank you Maywyn, the season is definitely here now and the evenings are drawing in faster. I don't enjoy the darker days but I love the mellowness of the light when it is here. Best wishes.


Hi Debbie, it's such a lovely time of year isn't it. Unusually, we don't normally see them in our garden, we seem to have two resident squirrels now. One is very much a mischief! I saw him jump on a wood pigeon's head and dart a way in a flash seemingly just for fun. The poor bird didn't see it coming or know what had hit him. I think he thought the sky was falling in like Chickenlicken. So now I am being distracted by their shenanigans.

The drawing is just perfect, and I love the beautiful ink colors you've chosen!

Thank you Laura, I'm enjoying playing with the ink. It sometimes behaves a little differently to paint.
