Welcome to my blog, In The Works

Barndance

Storytime! I like to title my works, usually involving some part of the inspiration or my thought process...

Barndance (listed for sale currently on Etsy) shows a few faint figures, some planes of color, a few building fragments, and a large, rust-red barn. The figures actually weren't my doing; the zinc plate was one abandoned by a former student at the college many years ago, and rather than etch them away I left them as an under layer. 

Anyways, back to "Barndance." I started the print with a palette drawn from memories of late summer afternoons. Once I put down the layer of yellow light over the barn, I was reminded of a childhood favorite book, "Barn Dance!" To this day my mother can recite to whole story, but I only remember the first few lines, 

"Full moon shinin', shinin' big an' bright, 
Pushin' back the shadows, holdin' back the night."

Love your work, Miss Katie! (And "Barndance" was a fave at our house, too.)
