Today I found a fun link http://www.jacksonpollock.org/ I just justed playing with the mouse and doodling. I am getting ready to teach Painting at Northen Essex Community College http://www.necc.mass.edu/collegeforkids/
The focus is going to be about painting for fun and for each artist/painter/child to listen to herself. I also came accross Empty Easel, which has a lot of good information about artists and the internet. http://emptyeasel.com/ I have been working on my site, little by little http://www.linda-germain.com/. It’s a process just like prints and painting. I just have to do the work day by day.

Perforated Prints – experimental Printmaking

2010, mixed media printmaking, relief prints / /

Today I moved through the fears of not making prints that matter or that are good enough. I experimented with some gelatin prints that I had cropped down to a small book size. I used the sewing machine to draw lines of light. This monotype to the right is printed on both sides and can be viewed from both sides.
