Nice you found my 'flight' etching! totally inspired by diving with manta rays - one of the biggest privileges of my life, being able to dive and see these amazing creatures. <br />I was lucky enough to meet Pat King and see the whole exhibition in Cornwall last year - it was wonderful and truly inspiring, and went a second time. I hope to enter this year again - and always a good excuse to visit lovely Falmouth! <br />Lizzie - thank you for the nice comments about my work - you've made my day!stargazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195936828491081199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450316668370685617.post-61977304300720118972012-03-16T02:01:06.175-07:002012-03-16T02:01:06.175-07:00There are some great pieces of work in these three...There are some great pieces of work in these three women's portfolios, Mariann! Thank you for sharing the links. <br />I particularly loved Alison Wilson's underwater lino reductions - particularly the ones with the diver. Great textures and tones. The corals are fab too. <br />And Joanna Bourne's landscape work is wonderful. She gives a great sense of open space and how it feels to be in that landscape. I love "Kiri's Walk", with the tired dog having a rest - the whole long road behind her. Also how she introduces colour - sometimes it's very subtle - and her use of the natural patterns of the woodgrain as a part of the whole image. Fab! <br />Alic Leach strikes me as quite a brave artist - there's a lot of feelings in her work!Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.com
