"Dazzling Dhalias"
9" x 14"
White line woodcut (Provincetown style)
I made this to enter in a poster contest for the 15th Annual Dazzling Dahlia Festival at The Bascom: A Center for the Visual Arts. The winner of that contest ended up being Shannon Woodford. I haven't seen her winning painting yet, but I can't wait since I checked out her work on her website and her paintings of flowers are strikingly beautiful.
Even though I didn't win, I enjoyed having the opportunity to make a white line woodcut of flowers that have natural gradations of bright colors. Since I don't have a lot of free time for lengthy art making processes like white line woodcuts, I have to find excuses to make the time to do them.
