FRIENDS OF WIND AND WATER
mixed media block prints by Francy Blumhagen
June 2- July 2
Salmon Dance 18" x 38" $850
Francy Blumhagen works in a variety of media, including block printing, woodcut, collage, and wax resist. In her current show she has focused her attention on block prints depicting the great variety of birds and aquatic life that surround her Whidbey Island studio.
Fish Dance 26" x 28" $900
Flock of Crows 16" x 16" SOLD
Bonaparte's Gulls 18" x 30" $585
Blumhagen explains: “The inspiration for my work comes from the sights and sounds that surround me everyday, the birds and fish of the area, as well as by the colors that are revealed in fields, in water and sky; in the plant-life such as salal, moss, lichen, fir needles, salmonberry, and by grasses of every description forever revealing the new greens of growth."
Eagle & Crow 30" x 24" $700
Blue Heron 28" x 26" SOLD
Her mixed-media includes many kinds of pencils, crayons, acrylic paint, metallic powders, ink, and some wax. The collage is done with paper she has painted on or marked in a variety of ways, and then cut to fit the imagery. They reflect ideas about what she sees — not literal, but nor are they completely abstract.
