Finished Three-color reduction linoprints

So here are the first two.  I'm planning on doing more.  I think I'll just use two colors, though, because that seems to be all that I can really process with my limited, basically black-and-white brain.


In both of these, the light yellow is too light, and basically doesn't contribute anything to the overall pictures.


And this one, I didn't like the dark that I started out with, so I  only printed five of those, and for the rest, I carved a way a little more, and used a redder ink.  I'm much happier with it this way.

    color, though! Wonderful! I love the way you've essentially used stippling in that second one.

      Thanks! That was deliberate (a miracle in and of itself)!

    I think your first painting is like a Chagall, certainly as good as his in my (humble) opinion. For me the light yellow in both paintings is just right, particularly in the first one. I am always interested in the way you analyse your work, and when you have made your adjustments the pieces do always look better. Lovely powerful work.
