Monday’s print: I originally was taken with “classic” prints–largely black and white etchings and engravings, some lithographs. I find many contemporary color prints overwhelming, plus they obscure the detailed textures that I love most in the “classic” prints. My dear friend Ruth Super introduced me to a contemporary British printmaker named Andy Lovell, who works in color. At first, I was put off by the color prints, but as I have continued to look at them periodically, I have grown to really appreciate and enjoy some of them. My favorite so far is this lovely lighthouse scene. I am not sure of the technique used for these prints–I think they are screenprints but haven’t been able to find that info about specific prints.
Here is the URL of his website where you can see more and purchase prints. Much as I enjoy them, the prices are a bit more than I am prepared to spend, but you may feel differently. https://andylovell.co.uk/
