Thanks Claudemir! Glad you like the etchings - I've only just started to get back to printmaking recently and am loving the exercise of such a different discipline - it has really opened up a seam of ideas that thankfully is feeding back into my painting... so its doubly useful!
Sympathies with your artists block Garth, I hope it passes soon, I know how horrible it can be - is it unusual for you to get a blocked phase or is it that its lasting longer than normal?
I get them as pretty regular phases and have to remind myself to ease off on trying to push through them... (that way madness lies I think!) last time it happened for me I was pushing too hard trying to come up with ideas for a show... luckily starting etching again moved my focus and freed things up.
Marina, I know you mean it in the sense of taking too much time but there's nothing "dreadful" about your technique by a long shot!!! Has your extended break from painting left you with plenty of ideas for what you now want to do or is it hard to "get the juices flowing" as it were?
