Reflect
Reflect, detail, by Amy Crook
This monoprint has always made me think of giant, ancient trees growing right at the edge of a pond, reflected such that it’s hard to tell where the trees end and the water begins. You might see something totally different, of course, since this is a very abstract image. I did a couple of prints with this color scheme, I’ll try to post the other one tomorrow or next week. Actually, I used to dye my hair both of those colors at one point, though these days I don’t like to bleach it out in order to go blue or green, so mostly I stick to red or purple.
A monoprint is created by using thick, fingerpaint-like water-based inks to paint onto a blank acrylic printing plate, and then running the result through a press with wet paper just like an etching. It creates a single one-of-a-kind print that’s a merger of painting and randomness, the image flipped and often changed by the pressure and the way the ink interacts with the water-soaked paper. I would often print half a dozen in the course of a session and only keep the ones I really liked.
Reflect, 3″x3″ monoprint on 9″x9″ watercolor paper, $299 with free shipping.

Details about Reflect:
- It’s one of a kind, not part of an edition
- It’s printed onto watercolor paper, and would need to be matted or framed before display
- I can matte or frame it for you for a small fee, or you can do it yourself, either way shipping is always free
- The image is 3″ square, and the paper is 9″ square (well, mostly square)
- The top detail image has the most accurate colors
