I love the texture and line in this it has a feeling of age Seok

Loved this immediately, so beautiful Seok!

Great work ,the weathered look of the leaves and almost transparent stems,very nice.

I love monoprints Seok, this one is gorgeous, and the butterfly finishes it off beautifully.

Beautiful imagery, Seok ...very evocative and nostalgic feel to this, somehow linked to the decaying leaves and the brevity of a butterfly's short life.

Chandra's poetic words have summed it up very well. Fabulous.

Beautiful work - as always Seok :) :)

Butterflys have a special meaning to me since my husband died so I loved this as soon as I saw it. Another wonderful print Seok.

Inspiring and intuitive Seok, beautiful combination.

I was thinking of you this morning Seok and I was wondering if you are still doing the mono prints and now I opened my iPad and here it is, a gorgeous print for us to enjoy. I love the leaves and especially the gentle colours. So beautiful Seok.

Beautifully done, Seok. A very original piece of work.

Lovely and different.

Great feeling of organicness ( made up word) but I know what I mean.....satisfying.

Beautiful detailing in the leaves Seok. It does have an aged quality which gives it a lovely sense of fragility.

This is so original, Seok. I think it is beautiful, well done.

Thank you very much for your very encouraging comments, everyone! Satu, I like to think I'm still in the game for monoprints, but the truth is that coming up with ideas is just the most difficult part of the exercise and the light bulb hasn't gone off for the longest time! That and the fact that I'm working on a very old and almost moldy gelatin plate and have yet to summon the energy to make a new one. I guess you could call it "printer's block"!

Your technique is very interesting, as for the result it is absolutely brilliant!!!

Thanks very much, Beatrice!

It has been a great and interesting experiment and you have used your gelatine plate well Seok. Perhaps it's time to discover something new and exiting, who knows!

Works beautifully Seok .... Excellent

Thanks, Satu, you're very kind. Thanks very much, Dermot!

Fantastic work Seok

Magnificent! I love all works in this collection, your sense of colour and elegance of lines are admirable! Happy to have found you on this site. You are my new hero, Seok.

Thank you so much for your kind comment, Karine. I haven't been on this site for a while, so am still figuring my way through the new features on this site. I look forward to exploring your gallery!
