In a previous post, here, I introduced a set of linoleum block prints of flowers that I am working on.  This is the second print in the set, a Cattleya orchid.

The original flower this was based on was a brilliant orange color.  While I like the high contrast, black and white look of this piece, I’m considering making a few test runs of different colors, just to see what they look like. I might even try mixing up a good orange color—it’s not one that is typically found pre-made in block printing ink.  This is another piece where I might try hand-painting/tinting areas of the print. I’ll keep you posted on the variations I try out.

This print, along with the other in the set, will be available for purchase shortly in both my Etsy shop and on my website.
