My Sun Series of silk screens and block prints will be on display. These are my attempts at capturing the magic of the Alaska Sun during the Summer Solstice. On the day, the sun never sets, it just grazes the horizon. 

All the suns are priced at $340. Size: 10 x 10 square and 10 x 8. 

Midnight Sun Series - Part 5

These silk screen mono-prints I completed a while ago, and many of them are already in private collections. 

 

Midnight Sun Series - Part 4

 

I decided to focus on a few detailed areas of the sky on each of these fine art mono-prints. The above print has a sky full of stars. The white halo around the sun is larger than pervious images. 

The above scene has a very dark red in the sun and I added a lot of color pencil strokes to the sky. No stars. 

For this mono-print I was trying to show the aurora borealis with stars in the sky. This is a single layer print. This print is on rice paper. 

Midnight Sun Series - Part 3

These fine art mono-prints were created using the silk screen technique. After the ink dried, I used color pencil to add a little fine detail. 

 

Midnight Sun Series - Part 2

These fine art prints are from one linoleum block that I modified only slightly by carving. The above 1st block is three layers of color: yellow, green and red. 

The above print has the 1st three layers the same, but I added layers light and dark blue. 

This final print I added more blue areas, stars and more red.
