"Mountain Wildflowers"
This one is basically an accident. I have been trying to work on my "Hanga" technique, especially the "inking." So I just carved a simple design into a piece of MDF and started to play with color, paste and brushes. I was really disappointed with the results and after thinking about the amount of time I had spent on this experiment I decided to try and make something out of it. I switched gears, did some more carving, proofed and more carving and so on, until I reached this point. I inked my block with oil based ink and this is what happened. I had originally anticipated this being something completely different, but fate takes one to surprising places. Certainly not a masterpiece, but I am not embarrased to show it.

Wow. Really nice. I was doing a bit of linocut and soft-block last year, but fell out of the habit. It's a really great technique, though. SO methodical.
Nice stuff all around, BTW. I can't paint at all, so I really appreciate the effort put forth :) If I could have results like yours, I'd probably try harder.
