Sorting through some of my older pieces pinned to my studio walls or laying around. Posting a few that I had ignored or forgotten about.

BOOTHBAY AGAIN

Another pastel of Boothbay Harbor. We had a little snow over the weekend so this is really looking GOOD!

EASY THINGS FIRST?

Each day I have these great intentions of getting back to work on my large woodblock project or, at the very least, finishing the linocut I started months ago. And then each day, I find an excuse to do something else. The woodblocks I purchased are giving me unexpected problems. I have always used Shina blocks but these are Mahogany (Luan) blocks that don't hold detail very well at all.

I did do a quick pastel from one of my pictures taken in Boothbay Harbor. Makes me feel a little less lazy.
