Under the moon in the garden
   The pale lilies sleep and sway.
Ant thou, dear white flower-woman
​   Sleep thou until the day!

Production: I scanned page 21 of Two in Arcadia, 1907 Brentanos, by Lucine Finch and redesigned each of the 6 color  separations to facilitate printing and clarify the image. 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.

The poem starts ¨Under the moon in the garden¨ but the pale green scene does not suggest a nighttime mood. I changed the sky to a deep blue more resonant of a night scene, preserving the foreground and mid-ground greenish tones, but with a stronger blue cast. To balance the blues, I brought in the yellow lily, Echeandia flavescens (Torrey's Craglily), characteristic of the highlands of Arizona and New Mexico as well as Central Mexico where I now live.
