White Pine Camp - woodblock print with watercolor
Woodblock print of a camping trip to Minnesota's north woods, south of the 49th parallel, where there are white pines tall enough to loosen your imagination and brighten your mind. Camping next to them is like acquiring new 150 year old neighbors strong enough to have stuck around and shared in the geographic and meteorologic habitat since your great-grandparents visited for a night or two in the same place, if they'd had the chance. 5.5" x 4"; Edition of 20
Into the North is an illustration from the children's book, If You Want to See a Caribou.
The story takes place in the northern region of Lake Superior. It's a two-block reduction print.

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.
Red Sky at Morning is a five-block print I just finished, printed from poplar wood, 5" x 5", on Somerset paper. It was a little bit trickier to print than I thought; the hills and sky were touchy in terms of value and how the colors printed when layered on top of each other. I guess it's always a learning process.
