Some friends who ride with the island bike group commissioned me to paint a view of the canopy road in Fort Clinch for their new house. The Amelia Island bike group rides this at least twice a week as part of their regular routes. The sun and shadows are ever changing and mysterious on that stretch of road and there is always something new to stop and look at.

One of the things I see when we are driving along the river on Hecksher Drive, are fleeting glimpses of the navy's littoral combat ship. They appear off in the distance at the Mayport Naval station and sometimes closer in while being worked on at BAE. Ships at BAE are often shrouded in a white plastic covering over large parts which gives them a very sculptural look, as if they weren't quite fully carved. Anyway, this is an impression from those sightings.

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.

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.
