That last layer really made this print! What a beautiful beautiful image.
BEAUTEOUS, again!
Beautifully executed! I love how the colours under the wave a pulled together with the addition of the line work.
I also like the unsettling symbolism of the image when one realises the origin of the wave.
Like all your work there's so much though behind the image.

A lovely piece Annie. I really like the subtlety and earthy tones. The scroll shapes within the wave are impressive ...I remember working with birch plywood and also remember it wasn't tricky.
wow- this is really beautiful Annie!
Beautiful print!!
