A view of Split Rock Lighthouse on the north shore of Lake Superior. One of the infamous ‘Gales of November’ back in 1905 wrecked or sunk almost 30 ships and spurred the construction of this iconic lighthouse. It’s one of the most photographed places in Minnesota.
The lighthouse was commissioned in 1910 and became part of Split Rock Lighthouse State Park in 1971. In 2011 it received designation as a National Historic Landmark.
Woodcut with watercolor; 3.5" x 5.5"

This is a scene from Garden of the Gods in Colorado. Having spent a lot of time in Colorado, I was inspired to make this print after seeing a painting of the scene by Swedish-born artist, Birger Sandzen, who painted throughout the American West in the early part of the 20th century.
Sandzen is known for his imaginatively colorful impressionistic style and his paintings have become widely sought-after. One of my favorite painters of the West. This print is 4.375" x 6.25", from an edition of 12.

From the northeast side of Shovel Point in Tettegouche State Park on the north shore of Lake Superior. When the waves are big they crash off the wall with dramatic sound and spray, and beautiful colors. Well worth the hike to see it.
This is a two block reduction woodblock print of the Gallatin River in Montana.
It's another view from about the same place along the river where I've done several prints.
This is a small woodblock print I just finished of the Gallatin River in Montana, between Bozeman and Big Sky. It's a reduction print, pulled from one block of cherry wood, about 5 inches square. I've done several versions of this scene and will show a few more in upcoming posts.
