Whisper - Ochre
This aquatint received the lightest touch of acid to create this delicate image I have entitled 'Whisper' It is a drawing of a pheasant feather I picked up in the serene grounds of Riveaulx Abbey in England on the occasion of my niece's wedding. I have carried it to Vietnam and back to inspire the creation of this whisper of an etching.
