Aphid

The reason I never minded a few aphids on my roses was because it brought the ladybugs around! Printed on honsho, 12" x 12".

Firefly

Another bug in the series. I "etched" a few places very subtly with diluted Drano. It must be done carefully but linoleum responds to this technique and depending on how deep you let the Drano etch, an aquatint look can be achieved. It is painted on with a brush and this is a technique to be done outside or with plenty of good ventilation, and with gloves.

I was trying to use as fine a line as I could to carve this piece. This block is 12" x 12".

Leaf Bug

This is one in a series of linoleum blocks I made a while ago and printed them out on fabric. This print is printed on honsho but I think it would be interesting to print it out on paste paper.Block is 12"x12".

Watercolor of Dusty

Watercolor 3.75" x 5.5"

This is my wonderful art friend Darcy's Morgan horse Dusty. Dusty has a habit of looking over the paddock fence. Darcy's cottage where she teaches classes is in the background. Sometimes I really miss Maine.
