This edition is limited to 10. This listing is for number 7 (labeled 7/10), which is the one in the main picture. This block has some fun woodgrain patterns that show up in the final print. The photo showing the print in a frame is an example only. This print is not framed.
Little story for you:
I walk out in the woods nearly every day with my dogs. Off leash walking is my exercise of choice for them because we can all romp at our own pace. Which means Coast and Measure explode out the door and reach the trail in about a millisecond while I am still on the porch.
By the time I reach the edge of the woods, Measure has looped back around to check on me. She might do a few zoomie circles while she waits for me to catch up. Then she’s off to meet Coast at the first “check point” - a fork in the trail where they get treats for waiting.
Winter is my favorite time to walk back there - no ticks and no mud. The dogs come home clean and tired and I come home refreshed.
Snow on a sunny day is one of the most marvelous sights there is. There are blues and purples and greens in the snow making the forest floor a lovely backdrop for the trees. The light glints off the normally drab greys in sparkling golds.
The stars of the show are any beech trees that haven’t shed their leaves. The shriveled, paper thin, pale leaves capture light like a fiery prism - sending back bright ruby and amber hues.
I don’t often bring a sketchbook or paints out there. I usually don’t even carry my phone. I just enjoy the scenery and then recall the beauty later in my studio.
You’ve all seen the above print before - this is the latest impression from the
Leaves in Winter block inspired by the world outside my door in the depths of winter.
