One Image, 3 techniques

Started with a sketch of the subject in black pen ink

Second step was to carve a linocut block with the image and print it with black Akua Ink.

Third technique for same image was to take the black and white print and color it with oil pastel crayons

Palm Trees Series

Living in Florida for over 30 years, I have tried to capture the beauty of this graceful tree in many of my works and in many mediums. The palm tree symbolizes the love I feel for living in a warm, tropical climate and waking up most days to sunshine. I lived half my life in northern cities with gray skies, lots of days of rain and snow and early darkness in winter. I appreciate the beauty of the Florida palms and am lucky to have so many examples in my work to date. Here is a small sampling of my infatuation with palm trees over the years.
