Bits of Bougainvillea falling down in the patio which is my temporary studio in Balboa Island where I am working this year. Found their way into my work using beeswax and a hot iron. Normally  I  work at Seacourt Print Workshop Northern Ireland. The sun and colours are a great inspiration here.

    Haha, I was using bougainvillea leaves in my paper making today. Even the same colors!
    Your work is beautiful!

      Thank you. Would love to meet more printmakers. No press here but going back to N. Ireland in two weeks.
      Well done for organising this. I was co founder of Seacourt Print Workshop 30 years ago. It is still going strong under our director Robert Peters.
