Dragonflies Galore, a new work in my series of Galores is now ready. The size of this work is also 50 x 30 cm, and it consists of linocuts and a pastel sky. Well, the sky was rather slow to make at this time with soft pastel colours because I printed ten linocuts of dragonflies before colouring the sky. Between and around the dragonflies there were a huge amount of tiny holes to colour. In a few similar works I have coloured first the sky with pastels and put stencils on the places of the later printed linocuts. But this way it´s difficult to print the linocuts just at their right places, and there always remains spots around the linocuts which I have to "patch" with pastels. Perhaps I like the current way better. I´n not bothered that the sky is a bit mottled. And I like that reflection of the moon on the linocut of the lake at the bottom. The dragonflies are coloured by hand.
