Hanging to dry Spring Is Around The Corner – Clay Flowerpots
Spring is around the corner, so i thought id throw some terra cotta flower pots for my yard. I was just telling a friend that switching from porcelain to groggy terra cotta is like going from driving a sportscar to an 18 wheel truck!

Its printmaking day at the log cabin print shop. Im ready to start a new 16×20 woodcut. Heres my sketch (only about 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches in size) ive transferred the sketch to tracing paper and drew a rough grid so i can flip the image and transfer to the wood block. No photos or computers…all analog. Stay tuned for progress reports

The John P Parker House – Painting
Remember 2 weeks ago, when I made a block print of the John P. Parker house in Ripley, Ohio?
Well, i thought it was such a great scene (and important historic landmark) that I made an acrylic painting of the scene!
If you are a fan of John Parker (like me) you also might like this painting I made a few years ago

I’ve finished carving the John P Parker house linocut. I started it last week. Its a small linocut 4 1/2×6″, so it was a challenge getting the small details.
Cut and ready to ink! Time to proof. Will update with the result!

Hot off the press! Church Paintings Update 1-16-2020
Awhile ago I started 3 paintings. They were different interpretations of the same scene. Since then, I’ve made some progress
work in progress also, since then, I have been gifted with an old drafting/artist table. It belonged to one of my best friends, also an artist, Lucciano Moral. He was making room in his house, and thought I would like it. He was RIGHT!!! It’s perfect! Thank you!

Last week was busy at the cabin. The cabin was filled with artists, so i didnt get a chance to do any personal printing. The holidays are over, and its a rainy saturday. I expect it wont be as busy, so my goal is to carve this linocut.
