Work in progress

Walked into town and did a little exercise to only take photos of shadows of built environment - usually I'd prefer to take shadows cast by trees and plants etc. Am wondering whether to make some collages using ideas from these as a starting point?

I haven't done any gelliplate printing for ages so thought I'd test out some ideas...these are my first test monoprints


These are from last June. I often take photos of shadows - but these stuck in my mind as they have the addition of blue and white paint on grey tarmac. Might do something with them as a starting point but not sure yet...

The colours of and in the shadows are fascinating. In places more blue, in others more brown. Also, how they interact with the surfaces on to which they are cast. Well observed indeed.
