the drawing
I’m bringing color into play with the altered prints. I sand, really punish the surface, and then add layers of glazes before I mount them on cradled hardboard.

Here’s the same print in a different palette. The over-painting creates an entirely different effect.
Yesterday I visited a local antique market with my camera, hoping to photograph more children’s shoes. I not only found some excellent children’s shoes, I discovered a whole world of workman’s boots showing signs of hard wear. I’ll be posting my drawings and altered prints of the boots next.
