Just arrived on BlueSky, so hello! Here's a print with which to introduce myself, 'Le Jardin des Plantes'. The title comes from an Elizabeth Bishop poem, and the print is part of a collaborative project with the poem Sam Garvan @garvansam.bsky.social

'Sleeping Centurion,' (c1765) is a preparatory sketch for a sleeping soldier in Ubaldo Gandolfi's fresco of the Resurrection, painted in the eleventh chapel of the Portico di San Luca, Bologna. The fluid brushstrokes achieve a work of intimacy and great charm.

Looking good!
Finished printing Cocklers! It wasn't perfect but pretty close. Impossible to get it perfect when the paper changes shape.
I will photograph it properly tomorrow and list it.
