These small monoprints came from colors placed onto the plate while painting another painting.  I plan to frame these individually with lots of white mat around them with an appropriate frame.  I will enter them into the Essex Studios Walk on December 7 and 8.

The way that I paint these is to use fluid acrylic paint applied to sheets of plastic.  They are then left to dry.  Then, a coat of gloss gel is applied to special printmaking paper, the plastic coated painting is laid carefully onto the gloss gel.  It is again left to dry overnight.  Then the plastic is peeled very carefully away from the acrylic painting and the transfer to the paper is complete.
