I love this print of yours, Janis. It's so tender. I still have it on one of the cards you gave me. I'll have to familiarize myself with the story. I love your Fall altarpiece you have created.
Yes. Bring on the fall!!!
I'm applying for a new job, if I get it, I want to take a week off between jobs and go up the Central Coast. Maybe all the way up to Big Sur or Santa Cruz. Interested in meeting up ??? I should know more in the next few days :)
PS. My word verification for this post was resst. I need a much needed resst :)
Jennifer - The inspiration for the print was the "wolf of gubbio" though now it seems more a telling of other things, and my own symbols.
I've been wondering about you and your job remembering that you were feeling stressed. That seems like a very tough occupation... if you do decide to take a trip, let me know. Another possible idea is you inch a little further up the coast and come here :) Good luck with your application...
Sometimes I think we should create a blog/dictionary for word verifications. Though "resst" is just what it is, and something I hope you got :)
Oh, you really can get the best out of lino (too)! When I was a kid I was on an art course where we had to make linos inspired by some musical piece that was played. For me it was clear that the song was about an abandoned house. I made a lonely cat sitting in front of a broken window... Quite sad, actually, now that I'm thinking it afterwards.
There's something slavic about your work. But how do you add two colours on the print?
I adore this. I will keep my eyes open for when it's for sale. I tried some lino cutting earlier this summer but it was to hard for me. I need to take a class.
SOHVI - You've got a good eye! I was looking at, and listening to slavic art and music when I made that piece - specifically a vocal group from Berkeley called "Kitka." This particular print was made using two blocks (two separate linos mounted on two separate pieces of masonite board). Different from the reduction method which is how Picasso made most of his linocut prints. If you want more info, let me know :)
MALO - If you lived closer I'd have you over for a linocut lesson!

Aaaahhh...in a frame! That could be THE solution. See my comment on the post before. giggle.
I don't know if this is a coincidence, but "Kitka" is a Finnish word meaning friction...
