New work, "Books"

Since last Fall, I have been reworking a lot of my older pieces.  This particular piece is a monoprint that was originally in black and white.  It's been sitting in my portfolio for years.  After finishing Sea last week, I decided to tackle this piece next.  The design has always reminded me of books, like old books sitting on a library shelf.  Using watercolor and marker, I colored the vertical shapes based on book covers in my classic book collection.  (Pink is the one color I added for fun.)

I just added Books to my Etsy shop, where you'll also find more information about the piece.
