Starting a new etching today, a Spotted Sandpiper, not this bird but some composite. Water, rocks, reflection, experiment. Always love seeing these guys at the river, and some days all shorebird photos and no eagles (or Ospreys.)

Brand New Etching

This was my 3rd version as I destroyed the first one applying the sandpaper texture with a hammer instead of the ole rubber mallet, the next one cropped, and this one.  I tried a new Metallic Gold printing ink and this thing glows, always an experiment. Gouache paint and 9 x 12 inches. 

Another Smokey Sunrise

 

Sunrise

 This looked really cool a minute before with the sun just behind the contrail, and ran to get my camera. Could be an asteroid or comet!

One of the idiots out there. My favorite is someone called the MT Fish, Wildlife and Parks front desk to ask that they move the "Game Crossing" warning sign on her street. "I am just tired of all these deer in my yard. Move it somewhere else."
