New Cut Cormorants screenprint
These are the handsome river cormorants I cycle past along the New Cut in Bristol on my way to the print studio. I didn't notice them for a long time (I don't know that many folks do as they're quite well camouflaged) until I thought I saw an umbrella stuck up one of the trees, and then realised it was a Cormorant drying out its wings :) Its a familiar comfort to spot them and count them as I pass now - 11 is highest count in one sitting / perching - along Cumberland Road, and going over Gaol Ferry Bridge. These are a springtime trio, drying off and admiring the blossom. I enjoyed working out their dynamic shapes for this print, and getting a good dark colour overlay from the brown and blue ink :)
