I like the idea of imagining creative artists pursuing their craft in the 1400/1500's. It gives me a feeling of continuity in the arts. Anyone who lived around the time of Da Vinci or Michelangelo was fortunate.

In this new adventure, I discovered printmaking. Linocuts and woodblock work hold so many surprises for me.
