La Grande, Oregon

The seed for this print was planted on vacation, driving through Oregon en route to California. 

At highway speed the scenery seemed like ribbons colour: the blue of the sky, the pale gold of the sun-bleached grass cut through by a belt of green, and then the deeper gold of more, and longer, dried grass.

My sketchbook on road-shook knees, I jotted down a quick image and made some notes.  And that’s where this print was born.

This is a nine-colour limited-edition reduction linocut, carved and printed by hand from a single block, each colour printed individually.

Every print in this edition is unique; minor variations are possible and are the result of the process by which it's made. Colours may vary slightly depending on your monitor.

Each print bears the number within the edition and the artist’s signature.
