Really going for broke working these three surfaces of my early etchings done in Paris, Francecat the Atelier 17 , 10 rue Didot while they are still quite wet from snow-ice water , watercolors, acrylics, my fingerprints and Elmer’s glue , adding the watered down acrylic at the last to join the white of the borders with the images inside that the Arches antique white paper framed!

three worlds I am bringing from 1978-1979 up to now and opening their borders for all to enter and be one with them! Pictures I just took and videos on Thursday, February 19, 2026 now at 6:15pm as I add them here to pist soon. Enjoy. I have no idea what will show once dry, that is the fun, the magic, the intrigue and trustings as I do that this hands-fingertips-on-journey-on-my-knees will become!?
Now onto my streamer , screamer, dreamer series I am working on ; : " But what about me, my uniqueness?! " This thought inspired by reading or listening to Mick Fleetwood talk about the singer Eva Cassidy.
DONE for this brief moment, now make dinner for our dog and then for us! Tony 2/19/2026
my life inside me is large yes si oui!

So much done to three prints I made off of zinc plates in Paris that I did not like at Atelier 17, 10 rue Didot, 75014 Paris, France, 1978-79

wet and drying and so I decided to add Elmer's glue and made marks and patterns over it with my right fingers, the coffee grings and watercolors on the surface using the snow outside as my water source, and just added both red and orange acrylic, both watered down - taking full advantage of the wtness of this Arches paper over its whole surface, not just the printed surface to see what I have once it all dries?!?! I let things happen to see not to know already what the results will be. Anthony Alan Quinn 2/19/2026 3:36pmnow.

I started working on three old etchings I made that I felt didn’t make the grade and used watercolors and a brush on Snow White dirtied ice melting on top of the prints in big slabs , big chunks that I smushed down and into with my brush and used three colors!

Above the watercolor I used on the dirty white sniw ice chinks I picked up ffom the ground around our deck that are still gere after the big snowfall teo and a half weeks avo with the tdmperatures rdmaining inder freezing for days on end! Anthony Quinn 2/19/2026 I started with bright medium cadmium yellow watercolor. then went to bright blue sky and then to deep rich tree leaf green, , did this all outside, then shook them off andbrought thrm inside and on our basement floor I axded coffee grounds!
