Evelyn’s Tree Print
I was able to show her two stages of this print before she left us. Here is the progress so far: This is a linoleum block print. I’ve drawn the image onto the surface with pencil then reinforced the lines using permanent marker. This is the same block in carving stage. This is a proofContinue reading “Evelyn’s Tree Print”
Sunrise January 7, 2010
Tree silhouettes are fabulous during the winter months especially at sunrise or sunset. This morning was particularly stunning. All the black lines of varying thickness overlapping & crisscrossing.

Arrangement update
Today, The Beet Gallery inquired on the price of the submitted work. Wow! It’s actually being viewed and considered. This is a very good thing! To think my crazy art might end up in a funky-cool gallery! At least the waiting will be easier now. Can you tell I don’t enter many juried shows? MaybeContinue reading “Arrangement update”
The Arrangement
Many of you have requested an image posted of the newest project. Since I just sent the image off to the Beet Gallery, you might as well get a peek at it too.

Positive and Fun!
I’m attempting to finish a project for an image deadline next week. The Beet Gallery in Portland has two call to artists due December 1st. I’m going for their February show.
