Old habits die hard. As much as I'm loving printmaking, I just can't help but throw in some mixed media sometimes. My fingers twitch towards crayons and stencils and glaze and paint pens. I glance at my big scrap box and find a wonderful old advertisement, torn from a vintage knitting magazine - a smiling little girl who might love to taste a summer tomato.
I found a gessoed panel and worked away, eventually gluing the original tomato print into the composition. Printmaking requires careful neatness; mixed media is all in the paint smudged hands. I can't resist a layered surface, can you?
Farm fresh while they last...summer tomatoes!
