So this easter break I had quite a bit of work to get through. I had taken on two personal projects; one being a present (which i'll post at a later date) and the second being an antry for a local exhibition/sale.
The exhibition is put on in my local town by the church every year, where the local press and general public are invited to see artwork that's been submitted (in any media, of any subject) and even have the option to buy. In past years I've either lacked confidence to put something in or missed the deadline so this year I was determined, and with settling into printmaking, I wanted to be able to go against the usual traditional stuff that gets entered.
So I started off the two weeks that I had off by trying to get these finished (although maybe I should have done it the other way with uni work first) I also recognised that I couldn't do anything too daring considering the audience that were probably going to see it but I still wanted it to represent how I work. Like I said I wanted to take a spin on the usual entries of flowers, still life, landscapes etc and so I settled on an animal picture with a twist.

Finally I window mounted and framed it.
Named: The Inquisitive Visitor (mixed media - watercolour, linocut and collage)
The exhibition isn't until the beginning of May but i'm glad I finished it in plenty of time instead of leaving it until last minute (as per usual). The exhibition starts on May 7th until May 12th, if anybody is out there and wants to check it out it's in Mold St Marys church!
(I'll post how it's recieved when the event has been!)
