DC monuments printmaking project

It was really hard for these girls to concentrate on their art projects today when there was a puppy under the table. Enzo fell asleep and then spent some time in the main house, so the girls did finish their works -- and they look terrific. They drew a D.C. city scene, onto "scratch foam", creating their own printing plates. They then printed them with block printing ink, over previously watercolored backgrounds. Although the D.C. buildings and monuments (all cut out as one piece for ease of printing) don't reflect symmetrically in the water, the overall effect is of a cityscape reflected in water. Making them really BIG gave the finished works extra punch.
