Moonlight Forest

This is the first of a series of three forest works. The camera

misses the touches of frost on some of the trees 

and warm glow of the full moon.

Kimono I

This was the in the Kimono series. Durning the printing process

the rice paper took on a well worn silk like appearance of 

an ancient Japanese kimono.

reddish brown, gold, green, black, white  and bits of turquoise.

The subtle blue-gray and celadon green tones weren't captured by the camera.

This is the second spread in the book. Unfortunately, the camera

isn't able to show the glow and reflective light of the

original work.

This collage print was the first in the book.

Art Mythos I

From June 2019 until 31 December 2019 I concentrated all of my creative energy on doing gelli plate prints and collages. Almost all of those prints went into an Artist's Loft 5.25" x 8" sketchbook. Naturally the original binding split but I waited until I filled 99% of the book before I deconstructed and rebound it into my Art Mythos I book. In the above picture the bottom book is what the blank sketchbook was like before any prints or collages were adhered to the original pages. The size more than doubled by the time I was finished. It was a joy to work on this book. There are almost 200 finished prints plus notes inside. I didn't, but should have document each one along the way. Once the book was completed it would not open completely flat on each spread so I was prohibited from scanning or taking good photos. But I did still manage to get a few to post. I was reluctant to post this body of work because it is so very different than my watercolor and oriental brush painting. Yet it may be my personal favorite.
