T I D E thinking of the sea of the tide coming in and the moon of course thinking of the proverbs and sayings with water while the work piles up around me like a tidecoming in and this song of course!! thank you dear Ariane for this fine theme please visit her blog for the link to the other participants what i used: printing ink mixed into a gray blue stencil technique à la Werkman colored pencil papersize 50x70 cm
i found this image of a pinboard i made sometime ago as an insparation for a series of linocuts about gardening, memories and flowers the images are now in a box for when i have more time.... today for the first time i had the idea i'm going to make it i will get this work (for my work!) done before the holiday begins and that feels so nice! after that there will be time ;^)) outside a blackbird sings despite the tough rain showers i look at that image and think of these words: 'If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.' Martin Luther King Jr.
