Good morning - I hope you slept like a well adjusted dog. I'm starting with a pair from Sybil Andrews. 'Wings', linocut printed in raw sienna, red, cobalt blue and Prussian blue, on buff oriental laid tissue, 1979, and 'Fall of the Leaf', linocut, 1934.
The French weren't very keen on Prussians or Germans in general. The famous German-French enmity - here a Allegory of a dull looking Prussian Augusta.

There were also Prussians and Austrians too

Did this color study last night. Titanium white, yellow ochre, cadmium red deep, and Prussian blue. Based on a photo I took a couple months back. 6x6” oil. I was fascinated by the reflected warm light on my cats chest and chin.
