What a Difference Four Colors Makes!

Now we can see what's going on at Nats Park.  I'm going to get busy and cut some more stencils so I can "dress" the crowd and identify this Nats" right handed batter.  Stay tuned for more soon.

I'm laughing while I post!

It seems so funny to me to be posting this four color image, but I have to start somewhere.  Actually, in the foreground, you can see the batter's box and the outlines of the batter's and catcher's  feet.  Yes this is another Washington Nationals' image, and yes it will start materializing quickly.  Hope you'll come back soon and see all the activity.

Finished At Last

Spent a lot of time printing and not posting, but finally got this print finished to my absolute satisfaction.  This was such an enjoyable image to print.  I really like printing small editions (25), because it enables me to work with relative quickness and I'm not consuming vast quantities of paper and ink.  All of my materials have become almost prohibitively expensive with the growth of digital printing and the diminishing number of artists hand printing their own work.  With the approach of my Spring show season I've got to shift gears and get ready to exhibit.  I'll be posting a special deal on my Facebook pages for those of you who would like one of the 25 prints in this edition.  Thanks for following my progress!

More Colors Daily

I'm really having fun as I continue to add colors and today, cut more stencils.  This piece is taking on a harmony which makes me just want to add more color.  Don't miss the next post.

Wallpaper & Fruit

Now, after sixteen colors, the composition has revealed itself.  But, in reality I am only one half done.  Much more color to come and the most difficult stencils have yet to be cut.  I'm certainly having a good time and look forward to another fine day of printing.  Hope you'll stay tuned.

Colors Galore

Forgive me for posting this image crooked.  I'm in such a hurry to begin printing this morning that I just snapped a quick shot without the tripod.  As you can see, the image is taking on a whole new persona and will only get more colorful.  It gets much more exciting from this point on.  Hope you stay tuned.

A Good Day of Printing

I have a definite advantage in that I know where I am going.  You don't, but you can certainly enjoy the scenery along the way.  A very good day of printing, (til 10 PM), yielded seven additional colors.  I'll won't be able to print that much today but you'll be surprised how much the image changes next time you visit.
