Description
This is one of my one of a kind original works of art. Inspired by nature and working with colors and layering, this piece has a delicate beauty. This piece measures 8"x11" and is printed on Japanese kozo paper with delicate hand torn edges using fine printmaking inks.I was in a color rut when I mixed up the slate blue for another custom project I was working on at the same time. I liked it and decided to use it in my more creative work. I really think the slate blue leaves brings the piece together.
This piece is sold to a private collector.

The registration on this one compared to your Fiery Gingkos answers my unspoken question about whether your composition was carefully planned or kept a degree of randomness
You're inspiring me.

I love your use of colours, and also choice of paper- the torn ages adds a lot of feel. You want to reach out and touch it. Also, thumbs up for technique.

Thanks, I agree about the torn edges; doing them is a bit of a pain but worth it in the end.

Fantastic original style. I love the colors and the textures. There are many elements and layers but it doesn't look at all messy, everything is perfectly balanced.
For me the ginkgo plant has a special meaning, as it has helped me a lot with severe cognitive problems.

Thank you, it is a wonderful plant in both its looks and in its ability to help people.

The same motif as your "featured deviation", yet less intensity and livelyness.
It tends to become confusing.

How is it confusing? Most printmakers use their blocks to do the same image over and over. I use the blocks over again (it would be a waste not to) but I change the colors so that each piece is unique.

I mean, the layers are more confusing here - because of the less intense colors.

One of my new favourites! The colours...the design, the whole thing is very well thought out and finished.
