New In the studio - The botanical print

I was commissioned by a friend to do a botanical print for her new baby's room. I did some prints for her first daughter as well. This time the baby's room is in greens and aquas and she asked me to come up with a botanical print to suit.


The flower is a linoleum cut and I hand mixed and brayered the ink on the plate so that the blues and greens would still be a little separated, to mimic the color of water. Once I produced a number of the prints, I suggested we do a series of them together, raised slightly from the back of the frame. It turned out so pretty, I'm a little sad I'm selling it to be honest. Right now it's living on my mantel until I can deliver it to her in a couple weeks.

your fireplace is beautiful. You must have one of those great old houses in LB. My grandma lives down in the Belmont Shore/Heights area on Ximeno. I love all the beautiful houses there.
