Studio Update January 20, 2024

 It's a cold day here at the beach!  I like the quiet of January to get lots of work done.  The snow is beautiful this morning.

 

 I have a number of works in progress and am sharing some process photos of those today.

The second print of "The Bell House" is nearly complete.  I wanted to wait to take it off the block until I'm sure I don't need to do more work on it.  I have made good progress on "Worms for Sale", the background is almost in.  This is the largest block print I have made so far, the block is 20 x 30.  I like working this big.  This is located in the same place in Maine as the print "Lobster Trappings".  What a fun location.  This is block # 41!!

 The last new work is a charcoal and graphite drawing of Rialto Beach on the Olympic Peninsula.  It is a daunting subject.  I'm still making decisions about how to approach it.

Studio Update January 7, 2024

 Yes, it's 2024!!  Busy month last December and I'm behind posting new work!  I have many things going on in the studio and am looking forward to this years shows.  I took photos today of the new work, and here is a sampling!  The final drawing on the page is a reworking of a botanical drawing I started last year.  I really am pleased with it.

Also,  I am completing another pull of "The Bell House" and have started printing my largest print yet, "Worms for Sale".  Updates later!!

I have always been fond of this scene in Maine.  So much so that I have worked it in graphite and watercolor.  I also did a print of it some time ago.
