This is the tird in a series of drawings using playground hobby horses as subject matter. In this drawing I used oil pastel for the first time in over 15 years. I an not sure I like it on plywood but who can tell.

Political prints

While not partisan these are political in a sense. The idea is all voters should be informed on the candidates and issues.

Again theme and variation is the rule and all were run in small editions. The yellow in #3 is brighter because I force dried the other editions in the oven at 195 degree. Speedball ink in the reds and yellows color shifts/darkens when heat is applied.

e=mc2

This little print was fun to make. First I carved the mirror image formula and the radiation warning symbol. Then I print the formula in black and forced dryed it with my heat gun. Then I printed the red radiation symbol and also force dryed that. Then final step was to over print in green with the formula block but apply no pressure so the inking was very uneven.

"Red Treetop"

This drawing is done on 9x12 paper in color pencil. I am not sure I like the medium.

Here is and addition of color to the original black and white print. I added a red background and a light grey pink foreground, which didn't scan well.

New drawing Hobby Horse #2

As I finished this drawing I wondered about the mounting spring and whether it is needed in the drawings. All of my subjects are from parks, and they are all mounted the same way. I guess only time will tell whether I leave it in the future drawings.
