Woodblock Print on Yellow Rice Paper
5.25"x3.5"

Late last week I pulled seven proofs of the block I finished carving that can be seen below. The prints were pulled by hand and were a great deal of fun to create. Normally I use perfectly square and sanded blocks, so using a rough piece of found wood like this is a bit of a stretch for me.

The effect will be complete when I carve a color block to create a chiaroscuro print using a dark blue color. This will bring out the clouds and reflections from the rising moon on the old railroad tracks.
