Quick Canada geese #watercolor field study today in #Oisterwijk 🪶

Midweek Terschelling met zeilschip Mars- many aquarel field studies & small #linocut

Finished new #linocut #reductionprint “Hoog & droog” of this coot high up on its nest sometime in June when the reeds were vibrantly green and fresh. Tried to capture the serenity of that moment. 10 layers, edition of 20. Still line drying, will be signed & available next week. #printmaking #coot 🪶

Fresh #linocut 🪶 Flowing with life’s currents & sifting through the waters, the #spoonbill symbolizes balance & harmony, adaptability, intuition, awareness, and purification. Its graceful movement is said to help humans tap into their inner peace and connect with their true purpose. #printmaking

Layers 6, 7 & 8 of this #wip #linocut #reductionprint … Getting closer to the finish but still some work to be done! #coot #meerkoet #printmaking 🪶

This guy is sharing the love! Some fun facts about rats: they are very altruistic, they sing after mating, keep very clean, have excellent memory and they love company. This one has been added to my shop today so if you want his company, have a look. #linocut #printmaking #rat 🐀 #love

So fantastic to see how lovingly my work is being framed by a new owner. ❤️🙏 Thank you!

I ran out of ‘fragile’ tape today and solved it by making my own #linocut stamp for shipping my artwork. Which also fits this #printpromptmonday #text 😃 #printmaking #robin 🪶
