A trip down memory lane...I came across a series of my work online from around 1986-87. They are Botanical monoprints.
1 off prints taken from oil sketches done directly onto a zinc plate then passed through an etching press, each printed onto beautiful handmade French etching paper.

It is a very strange feeling rediscovering them, like seeing old friends from 25+ years ago.

I am thinking that within these pieces lie the secret to a new series of wonderful oil paintings on canvas.
