Work at LaRomita




Our days begin early, with the freedom to explore the grounds or set up our studio space for the day, before breakfast. 




Breakfast, like all our meals is a full array, and it is important (to me) to try something different each meal, if not a little of everything. I am not worried over the food as it is organic, delicious, and there are enough stairs and steps around here, that I am sure I have dropped a pound or two.  I have stairs to my second floor room, steps into the church, stairs down to lower level to develop my printing plates, and then more steps down to the press.  While that is not many steps in all, it is when carrying supplies and the multiple trips for the supplies I keep forgetting. 




This is a run from my second plate created, the first I struggled with and may revisit later.  I have 4 plates in this series, and have created a couple of other plates with an entirely different feel.  Of course I collected a couple of photos today for another idea.  There is not much time left, and I switch to the drawing group.  While I will still be allowed to pursue the press, it will be on my own time, most likely late at night.
