Half hidden narcissi - This delicate
clump of narcissi is growing on a small plot of land on the Isle
of Anglesey. Each year without fail they appear and I'm delighted
to see that they seem to be multiplying. In previous years I've
drawn them and they've appeared in prints as individual flowerheads
but this time, I decided it was time to capture them in situ, en-masse.
Their delicate colouring called for several masks to be used during
the printing process, so that several pale tones could be incorporated
into the flowers to give them form before building up the leaves
and background. It's quite a departure from my usual landscape work
and has quite a different appeal, not just for me in creating it
but possibly as a bit of a surprise for people browsing through
my portfolio.
