What a...Wow so that storm hit you way up North too! What a lovely way to spend during a winter storm. I LOVE the look here with the WC on that textured paper. Great idea to glue it to Bockingford too.<br /><br />I'm using mulbury paper and will detail it more on my Tools blog later. But it works well sending it through the printer even though its so thin. I love the way texture "talks" back. <br /><br />These have great depth to them.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142884023928819776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-63891795083877791022010-02-07T15:58:54.253-03:302010-02-07T15:58:54.253-03:30Thanks Robert, blizzards do have their uses someti...Thanks Robert, blizzards do have their uses sometimes.<br /><br />It does work well for aquatics I think Jan. I am trying out more soon.<br /><br />Margaret, it sounds like the storm created productivity with you too. There are some benefits to bad weather at times.<br /><br />The differences between the poppy and this involve a couple of things. The poppy was done sort of on the fly. I was creating and learning about how the paper reacted as I went along. And flowers are my least favourite thing to create, so I'm sure that factored into it.<br /><br />With the fish, I had a plan, I had experience drawing and painting fish and my interest level was higher. I believe the factors of interest and higher knowledge of technique (or reaction) make a huge difference in how a piece turns out.<br /><br />I will never be a flower painter, but always paint and draw and print fish.<br /><br />Jennifer, thanks, I was really trying to get that effect without losing them entirely or have them sitting on the surface.<br /><br />Thanks Collette, it great that you like the piscean pieces so much. I'm quite fond of them too. :)<br /><br />The original trout is up for sale on Ebay as of today http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190371375081&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT<br /><br />I will be creating some prints from the koi and if you are interested in the original, I can email you a price, just let me know.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-11208252225640424102010-02-07T14:44:09.321-03:302010-02-07T14:44:09.321-03:30Absolutely LOVE your koi and rainbow trout!

It got me to the studio for a marathon of painting where I put the finishing touches on 3 paintings that I can now call finished. <br /><br />I love this piece Jeanette. The textures add to the overall effect. Sometimes I find using this technique produces works that are a little contrived. Not so for you. How was the process of creating this work different from the poppy? I'm curious about subject matter.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-91438861037568778672010-02-07T10:04:11.929-03:302010-02-07T10:04:11.929-03:30Yes!
