THE RAINBOW-Y VALLEY





















The "VALLEY" woodcut, framed up for Tugboat's upcoming museum exhibition in West Virginia! Pictured here float-mounted with spacers in a pickled maple frame. "VALLEY" is a multiblock color woodcut, printed to paper from 4 hand-drawn, hand-carved wood blocks. More about the making of this new print & process photos HERE!

"VALLEY" CARVING (CATCH-UP!)







It's been challenging to find time to write about what we're working on lately (sorry, blog!). Lots on our fall schedule & lots going on in the studio! 

Shown above is the "VALLEY" woodcut in progress. We're now in the process of editioning this print! Shown above are the 4 color blocks, in progress. For the first time, we used paint to create wide brushstokes of color on each block to layer & build a rainbow of sky. We carved following the strokes and then added additional dashes to emphasize the cup of the valley. This edition is next to print…see the first proof color HERE!
