Woodbury Mountain, Proof 2

December 24, 2005 Woodblock Print 3.5"x6"

It seems like forever since I published anything on my blog. Here is the second state for this little woodblock print.

Monotype

3.5"x5"

This quick little print was done right before I cleaned up the studio. There was some text on the bottom that did not print legibly so I trimmed the image in photoshop. It has this dreamy quality that I really like, like a frame from an old silent movie.

Eight Blue Phil's, 2nd Proof

December 7, 2005

Nine Copperplate Etchings

9"x6.5"

My second attempt at printing a little plate multiple times on the same sheet of paper was very successful. The red is much stronger and overall, the eight blue prints came out relatively even as far as the intensity of color and darkness of line.

Woodbury Mountain Proof

December 7, 2005 Woodblock Print 3.5"x6"

This is the first of several proofs of the key block for a chiaroscuro print. I will work on a few select areas and the black mountain will be worked into quite a bit. When the carving is complete a final proof will be pulled.

Fresh snow on Barr Hill
Muted shades of green and gray
Stand in Stark Contrast
To the silent blue sky
Of clouds and blowing snow
