Nothing ruins Spring planting like a swarm of blackflies buzzing around one's head!
Although at this point, I'll take a few blackflies. We had 7" of heavy, wet snow yesterday, and the weather service is predicting 3-5 more for tonight into tomorrow morning.
I am a retired high school art teacher who enjoys drawing and painting, but who now works predominately as a printmaker in my small home studio. I love exploring various block printing techniques, and print everything by hand without a press, using water soluble inks.
Whatever I do as an artist, I have to remind myself---no pressure---it all starts by just putting pencil to paper.
