Lines are clean and bold, colors are rich and true.
Just-picked plants, florals and fibers are used as the print matrix, making Bedell's print process extraordinary in itself. Flowers and foliage are artistically composed to create wonderful gardens - environments that are a riot of color, yet they seem to sooth with feelings of peace and quiet. The plants and flowers are then handpainted by the artist, layers of oil based printer's ink combined with metallics. The resulting impression becomes deeply embossed, and it is then the basis for subsequent mixed media artwork. Depending upon whether or not the organic plant arrangement is damaged by the embossing, several prints may be pulled.
