Midnight Sun Series - Part 1

I have spent a long time on my tree series of drawings in the past few years. That is still my primary focus. But, its summer! So I am working on my Midnight Sun series of fine art prints. These fine art prints are created using the linocut method of printing. Each is a mono-print, but from a single linoleum block that was modified as I printed. 

I completed these during a three week stay in Provence France. I took a workshop with Jeff Hirst in the town of St. Raphael on the Mediterranean coast. 

I used color and line to show the motion of the sun as it misses the horizon during the Alaskan Summer. 

 

Art Book Joint Effort Maura and Wil Bosbyshell

 The images below are from a joint effort between Maura and myself. She made the underlying prints. I added color or collaged the princess. She used washers, mesh, real flowers, string, etc. in the printing process. I added some stamps, watercolor paint and color pencil. I made them all in to an art book with quotes from our favorite song writers.
