This is a linocut that I finished back in June for a friend’s wedding. The inspiration for this comes from various trips to Hidden Lake Gardens last Fall.
The battleship grey linoleum was purchased from Dick Blick. I used Speedball cutting tools. The ink is water soluable oil based ink from Daniel Smith. The paper is Rives BFK. I used a Richeson Baby Press to make the edition. I painted the dried prints with Winsor and Newton brand watercolor.
My friend Jenna purchased the block so no more prints will ever be made of this. I did save one artist proof for myself. This proof will be on display at the Art-A-Licious Festival Sept. 19-20 and then again at Pentamere Winery in November. After that it will be permanently displayed in my studio.

Beautiful. I love your work!
Thanks Annette =)
I found your work by surfing the internet. Your works are beautiful!
I am also so glad that you used the Richeson baby press because
I wanted to buy one but could not find any printmaker that was using
it and my instructors really did not know much about it.
Thank you
