Printmaking

Experimenting with acrylic paint and dish-soap today for a printmaking class that I taught, I believe that I blew my lungs out making bubbles of paint to spill onto the Stonehenge paper.

The image below is the result of what I played around with, and this piece reminds me of a "Walk in the Park".

This abstract print has a lot of energy and movement. It reminds me of the chaotic motion of spring. It is as if all the colors of spring exploded and mixed with the dark, rich soil of the earth onto the paper. I love the excitement of spring and the feeling that the warm days bring with it, a fresh new hope.

One of the values that I have fully instilled in my children is that READING is essential!

I read many a good book(s) to my oldest and now I am passing that tradition onto my youngest as well! We have to record the books for her class that I read or what she reads to me in order for her to reach goals of receiving a pawprint for every 10 books that are read (she is now on 2 pawprints)!

Tonight's selection came from her older brother's collection that he had passed onto her a few years ago.....the chosen book "Bubble Bubble" by Mercer Mayer is a cherished classic!

"Bubble Bubble" reminded me of a photo session that I had done with my muse last October shortly after Halloween!



This is one of the aspects of photography that I love to be a part of.......the spectator capturing the joys of everyday life!



The above image is one of my favorites, especially due to the method of which I obtained the shot!

I just wanted to share a few moments of what I experienced reading the book and the images that I had remembered capturing.....the loving fun spirit of a child enjoying a simple pleasure of blowing bubbles on a crisp, fall day!
