SPRINGTIME LANDSCAPES

monotype landscaping

I've been finding harmony in monotypes, there's a certain amount of the "surprise" that I find joyful.  Each time I lay the paper down to burnish it to pick up a color, it's a similar feeling to unwrapping a beautiful gift.  It's also forcing me to simplify my view of art and strip an image down to an essence, rather than a replica of what is obvious..

I made a sincere attempt to make every brush stroke have true intent.
One of my favorite results was a depiction of the view looking out at the Atlantic Ocean from Long Sands Beach in York Maine.  
​How do I visually capture the repeated sounds of waves crests crashing on the coastline?  I will keep trying until I can really hear it.  More to come.
