I was imagining an ink blot test when I made this, though admittedly, with there being some movement in the water, one side of the paper seems to be more absorbent than the other!
This is a shot across the south end of Ullswater, a little later in the day from the previous couple of images, when the cloud had lifted even further. According to the forecast, this must have been a 'sunny interval'. Hmmmm :-\ .... though there was a brief hint of sun catching the island and the reddish hillside.
my new friend i met at the beach this weekend. i think i could live the life of a beach cat .... ink made friends easily and made you feel welcome at his home by the sea.
On further urging of The Queen, my 1st experiments with ink & chopstick. I now have much more appreciation for her beautiful darks .... I think my chopstick needs to be broken in!
Ink smooshing is a really fun and easy technique and was a great way to create a background for these cute dolphins from the @ClearlyBesotted new Make A Splash set. 🐬

If you have a high quality picture that you would like for me to turn into a design like this please let me know! I love doing it, and I will make sure to credit you with the photography.
Number 2 is more in an Oriental style, following the techniques of the great contemporary artist, Gao Xingjian, whom I admire greatly.
Original is 8x11 inches.

In this image of my friend John speeding towards me on a bicycle I was interested (when–many years after taking the photograph–I was thinking about making it into an ink painting) in the image’s compelling sense of mystery, action and potential danger. While working on the ink painting I was thinking of Turner's painting Rain, Steam, and Speed and the futuristic (zooming into the future) implications of the image. I'm not sure how much I was aware of this at the time I made the drawing, but there is also a meaningfulness in making that complicates the image: the initial spontaneous and instantaneous snapshot of a figure blurred in motion then replicated with a labor intensive, meditative act of making the painting. This was a very different process than traditional Korean ink painting, but in some respect similarly meditative.

Poem by Tom Lee
We thought we’re out of lock-down!
We were getting out at last
We could meet up with five close friends
(As long as we were masked)
But now we are restricted
We’re all confused again
I don’t think we’re allowed to meet
It really is a pain
But as long as we are sensible
This thing might go away
Though I’m looking at the news now
And I’m ashamed to say
That there’s lots of ‘lock-down parties’
It’s getting out of hand
It really is quite simple
What don’t they understand?
Some of us are vulnerable
Don’t drive us back inside
Please... just think of others
I’m tired of ...having ...to ...hide
