Studio Update April 28, 2023

 I've been working on new prints and drawings.  I'm posting some of the sketches for the prints and the newest large drawing I'm working on, Bass Harbor Morning.  It's a stormy day here today and the prints in progress didn't photograph well, I'll post them later.  The three bottom drawings are new prints, either in progress or ready to be carved.  Looking forward to posting new photos.

Studio update April 13, 2023

 I just completed a new botanical drawing, "Autumn's End".  When I collected these leaves it was the beginning of fall and they were so vibrant and colorful I couldn't wait to paint them.  I was called away on a family emergency, and when I returned they were dried and very different from the day I found them.  I thought they still made an interesting subject.  I rendered them in pencil, over many hours.  I'm pleased with the result.  

There are many new white line woodcut prints in the works.  I haven't had a chance to photograph them yet.  Next week I hope!
