Terrier Print continued

Yesterday I started a print in honor of a friends birthday. Today I’ve finished it. Images below show the next proofs in the series. Overall, the image works for the most part. If I were to do it again, the nose would change (a bit higher and larger on the face) Also would work onContinue reading “Terrier Print continued”

Start of Terrier Print

We are invited to attend a good friends 55 birthday party on Saturday. He is a dog lover extraordinaire so I thought “why not create a little dog art!”.  Patrick & Cynthia recently put down their old terrier. Unfortunately, I have lost all my reference photos of little old Danny, so a generic Boarder TerrierContinue reading “Start of Terrier Print”

Moving towards new products…

Woodworking is a love/hate relationship at my studio. I need to create using wood in order to help display other works, but really lack confidence and tool know how. My father is a good wood crafter, producing furniture, building houses & cabinetry, but I have not yet taken advantage of his knowledge (and he’s 84Continue reading “Moving towards new products…”

Wildflower blockprint proofs

There hasn’t been a lot happening in the studio over the past several weeks.

Now I have images of the two works for the Ag show plus a stunning pix of my leaf coat from 2009. Here are the results: Journal Entry: February 1, 2011, mixed mediaContinue reading “Bringing in the pro!”

Mollusk Monday

The forest art print project is still moving along.4″x4″ printed & water colored squares will eventually become attached to balsa wood frames. The carved images are quick and not perfect. It’s become more of a learning experience than anything, pushing my envelope in an area I don’t visit very often.  Plus making me work inContinue reading “Mollusk Monday”

Forest Project Continued

With the initial “Walk in the Woods” project completed, gears are shifting to tackle the next. I’ve decided to approach the art through printmaking and cube construction.  A total of 7+ cubes will be created, depending on time, and will relay a visual story of a hike through the forest during the month of February.Continue reading “Forest Project Continued”

Evelyn’s Tree Print: Finished?

Feeling about finished with Evelyn’s Tree. Tried to adjust one section that was having problems and wasn’t successful. Adding linoleum back into the block just isn’t possible. Next step will be to set up a silk screen to drop color over the image. It can also be just in black & white if people prefer.Continue reading “Evelyn’s Tree Print: Finished?”
