English Bay: Sea and Sand Abstract seascape oil monotype Handpressed on Stonehenge paper Image size: 6" x 6" Paper size: 8" x 8" I used to live a few blocks from one of the most beautiful places on earth -- Stanley Park in Vancouver, Canada. My entrance to the park was via English Bay. This series of monotypes are my love letters to the area.

The image above was one of the first monotypes I pulled. Doesn't look much different than a painting, eh? I'm still figuring out how much paint to put onto the plate and clearly there was a lot on this one! However, I still love the result. Sure, I had to get out the trusty palette knives to smooth some of the major glops out and define an edge or two, but in the end, I love the image. It is so much fun learning something new and just playing .
