the egg, Monotype of the Day #334

Experimenting with different ways of working the new ink. I'm still struggling with the stiffness. It's inhibiting my spontaneity. Trying to get some of that back with this print. I have to say it's making me feel a bit cranky, it's like having a spat with your spouse. But I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel, I just have to keep at it.

I stand and look in the dark under a cloud
by Walt Whitman

I stand and look in the dark under a cloud
But I see in the distance where the sun shines,
I see the thin haze on the tall white steeples of the city,-
I see the glistening of the waters in the distance.
