This is My second attempt at Etching and Aquatint and is called 'hex 1' it is a genuine number plate on this old motor home, it was very local to me so I took plenty of pictures with my Nikon
D300 first and than made a drawing bearing in mind that some things will stand out better in Etching than others.



These are my first attempts at etching and Aquatint with Colin Bygrave. To start with you think you have forgotten how to draw and I spent ages trying to mark out my idea accurately! Until
that is I realized it was better just to go for it. So I did!

Hare today gone tomorrow.....

Exhibition Page is now updated: this site did get finished before Open Studio! I shall be doing it next time too!
My thanks to all those who were brave enough to Step through My Door! And to those who brought Prints,a pleasant surprise! And my oppologies to Lord and Lady Walpole who sweetley visited and brought one of my Boxing hare Prints- for not realizing who they were at First! perhaps they prefered it that way and it was certainly less daunting for me!
Incidently a friend first told me that contrary to popular belief, BBC wildlife Finder on Hares says; 'observation has revealed that it is usually a Female hitting a Male, either to Show that she is not yet ready to mate or as a test of his determination' (the latter being my favorite thoughts on the subject!)
Not forgeting a Special thank you to Saffron Paffron for a truly joint effort on publicising our Open Studio, it was a pleasure to work with you!
