Each tree always inspires a name at the moment I carve them. Since I work in a series, often while I'm carving one, another one comes to mind and they tend to be naturally similar. Yet each one has a reason it came to mind; did I stop there to admire the view? or to catch my breath (more likely!)?

These are many smaller woodcuts that I use as "sketches" to hone skill in capturing the woodcut essence in the desert around me. I usually take a bunch of little blocks in my backpack the way other artists take a sketchbook. A magic marker is my weapon of choice as it allows me to sketch quickly and capture the quirky shapes of desert flora and the awesome darks and lights of desert landscapes.
Suitable for smaller frames, these make great gifts framed or unframed.
