Under the Maple Tree

I havent posted any photos of prints lately, but I have been working feverishly on a few.  They are for a friend who asked if I would make a few prints for her wedding.  I dont plan on posting the photos until after the wedding.  But, I will post this photo which I used as inspiration.  I finished an 8×10 linocut similar to this photo last night.  I made some compositional changes in the final design.  I’m also working on a small 3×5 woodcut, which I already posted.  Since it was my first woodcut I may or may not use it.  It depends on how the prints turns out.  Anyway, this weekend I hung a new wire frame shelf in my studio to use as a drying rack.  I made a new printing board to hold my block in place while printing.  And, I ordered some new water soluable oil based ink from Daniel Smith and some Rives BFK paper.  As soon as it all comes in I’ll start hand pressing the prints.
