Petunias Noir
monoprint on rives BFK (Oil-based ink)
8 x 10
Flowers always inspire me. Working from life on a solid black inked plate, i lifted out details in the focal area, and then gently massaged the surrounding leaves in a subtle way. Calligraphy brought out the expressive quality of the flowers and leaves. Flowers are rarely painted in black. It seems the antithesis to the riot of color flowers bless us with. These are petunias seen at night glowing in the brightness of a flashlight.
