Monotype
7"x5"

I am my own worst enemy when it comes to making artwork and I was not satisfied with the first three prints that I pulled this session. I was almost ready to head home when I thought I would pull one more monotype from my imagination and it came out very well. This exercise has me convinced that spending time out in the night sketching and looking has payed big dividends when I am in the studio removed from nature. The trees in this memory exercise seem more real to me than the trees in the three prints that follow.
