Chama

I am still experimenting with reduction linocut prints and getting familiar with the inks.  This latest print is of the Chama river in New Mexico.  It is 11 x 15, hand printed edition of 8, 11 color reduction.  Still learning....

Channeling My Inner Baumann

 Continuing my production of possible prints for this year's exchanges I used an image from a trip we took to Colorado 2 years ago.  This is from a drive up the "Million Dollar Highway" from Durango to Ouray.  It is a spectacular drive in the fall when the leaves are turning.

Croton

I like to participate in a few print exchanges and last year my prints didn't get enough drying time so I am getting some ready early this year.  This is a revival of the first image I used when experimenting with multi color reduction prints.

Industrial Dawn

It seems like paintings come off my easels in flurries...  This one has been hanging on for a while as I have changed colors and tones in places several times until I was happy with it.  It is once again a memory recreation of the mills on the Island.

Fog on the Bonavista

This is my latest experiment in reduction Linocut printing. The print has 13 colors because I am working to get a feel for how the inks react with one another, how the colors mix, and how they work on different papers. This is an edition of 8 prints that are 9 x 12 on the printed area that I hand printed using a baren.

Do Over...

 Sometimes a painting just doesn't feel quite right to me and if it sits in the studio long enough I just start painting over parts and adjusting until I feel better about it.  This painting is one of those.  Here is the new version and the old version of Blue Industry.
