Linocut (in Progress)
I have been wiped out, sick the last few days, and when I have gotten out of bed, I have been attempting a small linoleum cut. This is another idea encouraged by number one son, Hugh. I used one of my favorite subject matter (vineyards) combined with one of my favorite countries (Italy) and to create this image. With lino cuts you loose a lot of aspects you get with painting - space, color value, wiggle room with mistakes. After completing paintings in one sitting for over a year now, I found this to be an interesting challenge and plan on printing it and then watercoloring on top. I am not quite finished with the cutting, but will post a picture once I print and paint it.
