Sat out in the field for the first time in many months with my box of watercolors. It was a beautiful spring morning with bright sun and a golden field of dandelions.

Charcoal Pencil

4.5"x6.5"

Went out for a walk on my lunch break and wandered up the Taylor Farm Road in Plainfield, Vermont. Found this spot up in a cow field and I plan to go back once the leaves come in full and strong in a couple of weeks.

Plexi Drypoint
5"x7"

This little print has become my example plate for my students when I am explaining the Plexiglas Drypoint technique. I pulled this proof very quickly and I am surprised at how well it came out. Every time I print it I have scratched the plate a little more and it is coming along...
