Painting at a larger scale:

Today I finished a painting of a sketch that I did of my mam at home sitting at the kitchen table at breakfast. I enjoyed the process of this painting. However, there were some colours in which I was struggling to mix to make it look similar to when I was sketching the moment.

I feel like some of the painting is out of proportion but overall I think I think I made a pretty good attempt

Wood Engraving Wednesday

CARL MONTFORD

This engraving, "Fisherman's Terminal," by noted Seattle wood engraver Carl Montford, is from the wood-engraving collection Surroundings: Engravings in Wood printed for the Wood Engravers’ Network (WEN) at the Piano Press in St. Paul, Minnesota in a limited edition of 110 copies. Montford is a long-standing member of WEN and is considered the dean of Northwest wood engravers. A catalogue raisonné of his half century of work was published by Chatwin Books and is still available for only $45.

Our copy of Surroundings is a gift from our friend Jim Horton.
