Edition 42

Block: Cherry
Ink: Rembrandt's Umber/Red/Black mix

Process: Standard woodcut.
Image: A grand view of this brave lake that stands amid 120 degree summer temperatures and bathes the desert with water. An eerie sight, on most hot days, the precious waters and the threatening desert heat.

Process: Woodcuts are made by drawing an image on a block of wood, usually cherry in my case, then carving out the negative spaces. After carving, what is left is a big "stamp" of the desired image. I roll ink with a roller over the woodcut, place a piece of handmade paper on the inked block, apply pressure and transfer the image on the paper.

All my woodcuts are made in limited editions, signed and numbered in pencil. Signed Numbered Woodcut Limited edition Landscape Traditional 12 to 36 in
