Moonrise - Ink On Copper.

Moonrise

6x20 in alcohol ink on copper SOLD

Artist Note.

These images are from 

my Avian November show

This one got lots of attention.

The copper gleams through 

and creates an inner light.

I really liked working on it.

As I mentioned 

in a previous post,

I pushed myself to try 

doing some creative work

for my avian series.

I KNOW

I was totally creative with 

the one below.

The nest is actually
made of rust...

the bottom of a rusty bucket.
I wanted to use the walls
of the bucket
for a different project so

gently tapped out the bottom 

and when it fell to the ground

I saw it shaped like a nest.

I treated the rust and mounted it after 

I had painted the background shapes.

  It looked like a nest to me, but I

felt I wanted to pop an egg in.

Painting the egg was the

hardest part. 

If it was wrong 

then there would be 

no way to correct it.

I was pleased I could break 

out of my usual imagery.
