An experiment in both subject, colour and execution.
Fiery and graduated colours with bold shapes create a dramatic sunset.
This modest linocut block print shouts louder than it's size would suggest. It is this printmaker's first experiment with the subject of 'sunsets' and the red, orange, purple and black-blue colours depart entirely from her usual pallette of blues and greens.
Experiment: Not only is this a new subject, but also, Lynne is becoming more and more intrigued by free, fluid, characteristics possible with printmaking inks. These characteristics contradict the otherwise highly controlled nature of linocut and the printmaking process. This appeals to Lynne, fine artist, because it 'adds something'. Lynne says: "I often find myself deciding the reason I like a piece of artwork is because it contradicts itself. It's at once, both one thing and it's opposite thing - if that makes sense". The detail above shows the streaking of the hand painted plates as well as the paper texture deliberately encouraged by ensuring the inks were applied to the plate 'dry'.
