My original drawing was done very quickly in pencil, then color was indicated using colored pencil.
All colored areas in the prints were printed from a single block printed and reduced by carving through many printings. First the areas to remain white were removed by carving the block. then the block was printed in pale yellow. Then the areas which were to remaining pale yellow were removed from the block by carving and the block was printed in a deeper shade of yellow/orange. etc.
During printing, I experimented with different inks and papers. Two printed examples showing color and paper variations are reproduced below.
"Dog Dream", 1996, 7 x 8.5 inches, color woodcut reduction print, example 1 showing variations in printing and paper.
