Tommy McDonell Again -- and PALM FRONDS SILHOUETTE SMALL


 This image by artist Tommy McDonell is enough to knock any art-lover off his feet!




My guess is that Tommy used alcohol inks on Yupo (a slick, synthetic substrate that comes in a choice of thickness, as does watercolor paper.)  What a stunning work of art!  My hat's off to you, Tommy!

The stencil used here was Palm Fronds Silhouette Small --  which measures 6"x 6" -- and which has a little sister, Palm Fronds Silhouette Mini -- measuring 4" x 4".  I've often used the two stencils together, really happy with the way that something as simple as two sizes can help create variety while maintaining overall unity within an artwork.
