Description: This is a handcolored etching depicting fishes and birds freeflowing amongst man-made building structures. The etching reveals a playful, imaginary landscape. Dyann Alkire; Sea Air; 4/50; 20x25 inches; handcolored etching; ohsc nurses unite remodel I like etching because I like to draw. Things such as deep sea life, insects, birds, fish, and architectural structures appeal to me, and I combine them in my compositions. Each piece has a certain theme that just evolves as I work on the plate, rather than having a set idea from the beginning.
