| Dishes in the Sink 5.25×5.5 Woodcut & Watercolor |
I’m still working on the big watercolor I mentioned in the last post (see below), so in the meantime, here’s a woodcut & watercolor depicting the never ending layers of pans, bowls and tea cups that adorn our kitchen sink. The print was originally a five-color reduction woodcut (you can see the finished print in my Etsy shop), and this was a test print of the last color (black) before finishing the edition. I added watercolor, with a festive mood and matching palette (& there may or may not have been a marguerita involved).

Art Quote
My Dear Matisse,
I hope you will soon be well again despite this new winter chill, which in any event is healthier than that horrible fog we suffered from here as well. I almost ran out of coal, there wasn’t any more in Cannes, and they brought me a truckload from Nice. So now we can relax. My work is going pretty well, especially in the direction of understanding. During my morning walks I amuse myself by defining different conceptions of landscape – landscape as “space,” intimate landscape, decorative landscape, etc. But as for vision, I see things differently every day, the sky, objects, everything changes continually, you can drown in it. But that’s what brings life. I hope that as the days grow longer I will soon be able to come to Nice, and will be happy to see you.
Our friendliest wishes,
Pierre Bonnard
Spring, 1940
