Print in Progress
I've included two photos in this post of the lino block that I carved in 2005 that led to the print I call Observer. I first painted an image on the block.

At Peace Linocut

Clouds Linocut
Here's another linocut I made when I was just starting out. It arose from my love of seeing images in clouds.
Early Linocut–Monk Bird
As I meander through the art work I've done, I wanted to show you this linocut I made when I was just learning printmaking. I called this print "Monk Bird" because I thought the bird looked like a monk of sorts. The photo here is of a proof I made, meaning it's not one of… Continue reading Early Linocut–Monk Bird
Raining Cats and Dogs
Our cold weather gave way to warmer temperatures earlier this week. And then yesterday and early today, came a big rain. So in keeping with the weather, here's a linocut I made many years ago. It's a small print called Raining Cats and Dogs, made under my birth name, Susan Barsel, ©1984.
