Light Study II
The light is so brief in the Northwest. I feel panicked to capture it and keep it and put it in a bottle up high in the window where I can see it every day. Transfer print with water color 14 x 20 inches.

But What About the Penguins?
This print keeps changing as the temperature gets so high that the thermostat....oy, it has actually broken. But as I said above, resistance is futile. Now I think I will take a cold shower and then I really should go to the store and open the freezer door at the Haagen Daz department.

Joy (Her Shoe)
I have always love wooden shoe lasts, and this one seemed particularly lovely given that it apparently fits the foot of Joy, size triple AAA 7 1/2. Offset paper lithography hand printed.
Boy On A Wire
Perhaps this piece was affected by the fact that I played Leonard Cohen in the studio for about three months straight. I was fortunate to go to his once-in-a-lifetime concert last month, and it exceeded all memory and expectation. I'm interested here in the idea of freedom, the real and unreal and the precipitous edge between. Offset paper lithography using reproductions of wood cuts from the 1700's, hand-printed over pastel and watercolor.
