Went downtown today and made a quick thumbnail sketch of Montpelier.  The wind was blowing through town and a slight mist was in the air. 

Downtown Montpelier,
Right before the looming storm,
Hurricane Sandy.

Greensboro Cartoon

This is a rough cartoon for the color block I plan to start carving this weekend.  Plan to make a few changes with some white-out, but a lot of the decision making will happen during the carving process.

Autumn

2 plate blockprint
5"x7"

Finished a small edition of this print Sunday.  This is the second of three color variations from this run.  the first was a gray tone and then I made two bright orange prints of the color block before adding a touch of gray to the orange for the bulk of the edition.  Published the orange-gray version a little while back and thought I'd share one of the bright orange variations.

Greensboro Sketch

Pencil on paper
3.25"x4.5"

Made a quick thumbnail sketch in the mist of Greensboro.  Taking my son to his piano lesson is always a great excuse to get out in to the world and draw.

Overcast sky,
Blankets a bank of gold and green,
Greensboro.
