(Vandyke) Brown Heart of Mine


This past winter Bridgette and I concocted a mythical creature for me based upon the story of the white swan / black swan recently revisited through the cinematic portrayal by Natalie Portman in Black Swan. If she could be both the black and white swans, I certainly could be a swan in the glorious hue of Vandyke Brown.

Here I present the heart of this mythical beast.

and lest you thing I am neglecting my technical mastery of this printing technique I'll include the Stouffer's 21 step tablet with the pencil marking noting the "lightening" by five steps that occurred following exposure because of processing.
