Parts of Art

  It's that one tree again.  Same tree, but different prints. Which is the beauty of linocut printing. You first carve the plate, then print the plate, then paint, embellish, layer, texture, flock it, paper it, add or subtract to it. So each one is a one of a kind original piece of art.   It's that one tree, where I used to go when I was a child and we lived next to the woods. It was actually just a vacant lot, but to my 8 year old mind it was the vast woods. And in the back of that woods there was that one tree, where I would go to play, pretend, think and pray. I still remember the absolute invincible wonder and peace I felt when I was there.     So now as an adult, when I paint, or carve, or draw, I'm going back to that one tree.  That One Tree is available in my shop here So what do you think about That One Tree? Do you have a memory of the one tree in your mind? I would love to hear about your one tree.

           By popular demand, My painting entitled "The Clearing" is now available as a print!      I made the decision to print based on the interest in this piece. At one show this past summer, I had The Clearing leaning up against my sales counter. A young boy, probably 3 or 4 years old, walked up to it, as if he was entering it. That was a great compliment to me. After all, that's my intent with my art- to offer a place of solace that you can just walk into. The original piece is acrylic on canvas and is 30 x 36. The border is a painted frame. In addition, it is framed with my signature wood frame.  The original painting is available in my shop for $1225, and includes free shipping.
