Size with Mat: 24×32
Linoleum Block Print on paper; printed on etching press with Gamblin oil-based ink and hand painted with Holbein watercolor. Edition of 35 original hand-pulled prints.
After many trips to Blue Hole in the Ichetucknee Springs State Park, I composed the drawing with photographs of the creatures I met and filled in the rest from memory. The image was carved from the block with “U” gouges and “V”, about 50 hours of process, rolled with ink, then printed on fine art papers like Khadi, Nideggan and Bugra. Color is then hand painted. It is an edition of 35 original, hand pulled prints. Reproductions are also available.
