This past week I continued working on the Seacoast Women Series which I began last summer. Spring has arrived here officially yet the actual weather outside tells a different story. Teeny tiny snowflakes have been falling since about 8 o’clock this morning. The Seacoast Women appeared yesterday in winter garb and cool dark colors. They are looking a bit somber these days. In another monotype from this past week’s printing sessions, the Seacoast Women look truly grumpy, almost witchy, as they endured yet another week of frigid air. This photo (above) shows a detail from one of the monotypes (in process) which I printed yesterday (first drop) at The Button Factory here in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I’ve posted a few more studio photos from this past week on Facebook at Barbara van Buskirk, Artist. Where, oh, where art thou springtime?
