Using laserprints of each I coated blocks of unmounted linoleum [McClain's Printmaking Supplies] cut to size, with 10% mat gel medium / water and placed image face down. After drying thoroughly, I rubbed off the paper layer to preserve the carbon image. I cut each block and printed, one color per day until completed. $37.50 USD Shipping available USA $15.00 with tracking $750 MXN in the studio Page 14: 1907 overlay with 2024
Spring for me is a bursting forth of color and energy, but the dull greens of the original lack any dynamic impact. I substituted purple Delphiniums from my former Houston Heights garden for the vaguely hollyhock forms of the original, and brought into the sky the yellow orb of an early morning sun that seemed otherwise too vacant. |
