 These owe something to the indiginous art of the Pacific Northwest, as well as Art Noveau and 1950's graphic art.

This set of prints was an open-ended series from 2003, with a theme that was to be explicity cheerful, in contrast to certain previous series.

 I don't remember  the order in which the prints were made, so the numeral is purely for identification and not to indicate a sequence. These prints were shown on Flickr but have never been exhibited.

Above, I thought it looked like a prawn. I couldn't decide if it might be better to present the image  horizontally or vertically. 

 Ergo: both.

My four entries into the Society of Scottish Artists were rejected this year- despite having been accepted in previous years. And I'm a "Professional" member of the Society.

 This underscores the arbitrariness of these selection processes, since the pieces sent in were no worse in quality than in previous years- at least not all of them, and there were no new entry specifications implying a change in criteria.
