"Cedro Rojo", Linocut, 5×7

This is my first attempt at a multiple block linoleum cut print. I modified my cutting jig yesterday by installing two 1/4″ wood dowels for registration. I started a series of these prints around 7 this morning and finished about 12 hours later. That does include time to watch the Detroit Lions lose their home opener. Anyway, the first block was a reduction cut, starting with blue, then yellow, then green. The second block was simply the tree. I ended up with 24 prints, but I think I’ll take out the faint prints and sell them as a series of 20. I’m going to frame this tomorrow night and get it ready to display at the Croswell Opera House Gallery. It will be on display during the month of September.
