A Tulip Collection

1/5/2013

In my last contribution to the Two Rivers Trail blog I was excited about tulips in a jug. Inclement weather meant cutting lino in the kitchen and waiting for the belated Spring so I could get printing in the studio. Well, the days have happily been warmer (even if the nights here in north Broadland have been a bit nippy) so inks are now more amenable and 'ready to roll'!
Armed with a cup of coffee and not quite so many layers of clothing, I was off across the yard.
 
In my usual fashion, I mixed colours and printed in what is an apparently random and experimental way. I do have a plan but it's not always clear to anyone else, and I do diverge! This also means that I rarely print an edition (i.e. a limited number all the same and numbered accordingly). I know that's a printmaking tradition but it's not my thing. I like it when each print has its own atmosphere and development of the composition.
Here are some of the results from my recent engagement with tulips in a jug. Their lovely curvy shapes and celebration of spring will ensure I look again. Not my first or last tulip design.

I do hope you will visit our trail during Norfolk and Norwich Open Studios which is warming up nicely. Just under a month to go. 
Next weekend we have a stand in the Village Hall at the Horning Boat Show - 4th May- where you can pick up a brochure for NNOS, a trail map and an insight into our individual work.
The following Saturday 11th May we'll be at the Farmers' Market at the New Victory Hall in Neatishead , with a display and brochures for the county-wide event.
Come and meet us at either event.
 
We are a group who have a wide diversity of styles and media but enjoy and admire each other's work.
We'd love to share this with you.
