I have spent some time experimenting with ink on a range of different materials to create some underwater pond scenes.

The second image reminds me of O’keefe’s work – subtly merging colours together to create movement of a natural form.

Some of these designs have then been worked on top with my original lino cuts of natural forms. I wasn’t too sure how this would work but I am happy with the effective. It creates another underwater plant as a ‘repetitive print’. The second image from last is the back of the last image – both as effective as each other!
